title: [Prolonged pseudodementia after treatment with tricyclic antidepressive agents and electroconvulsive therapy].
abstract: We present a case of a 62-year-old woman who developed severe and prolonged cognitive impairment after combined electro-convulsive therapy and tricyclic antidepressant drug therapy. The literature on the interaction between ECT and antidepressant drugs is sparse, and does not explain the severe cognitive impairment in our patient.
