title: Maintenance ECT in Coexisting Affective and Neurologic Disorders.
abstract: To the numerous reports of the safety and efficacy of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in acute depressive episodes in patients with coexisting neurologic illness, the authors report their experience with two patients treated with maintenance ECT for more than 2 years. The authors find maintenance ECT useful in ameliorating the depressive illness without worsening the neurologic illness.
