title: Tardive Dyskinesia and Electroconvulsive Therapy.
abstract: An elderly female patient with major depression and persistent tardive dyskinesia was treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). In addition to complete recovery from depression, a significant improvement was also observed in her symptoms of tardive dyskinesia. Further study of the effects of ECT on tardive dyskinesia is warranted.
