title: [Electroshocks, antidepressive agents, and anesthesia].
abstract: During 12 years, we have effected 6,982 electroshocks with anesthesia and celocurine (N.D.) on 713 patients, i.e. 7.25% of the total hospitalized patients. 62% of them (440) were all this time under antidepressant drugs and 38% (273) were not. We observed 16 minor incidents ten (2.27%) among those under treatment and six (2.19%) among the others; of these 16 incidents, 11 led to an interruption of the treatment for safety. The association of antidepressant drugs with electroshock  under anesthesia and celocurine (N.D.) does not present any real danger.
