title: Electroconvulsive therapy in early adolescents with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
abstract: Electroconvulsive therapy is scarcely used in adolescents with diagnoses of schizophrenia, although it has been reported as an effective and safe treatment in the previous literature. We present 3 cases of early adolescent patients with schizophrenia who were treated with electroconvulsive therapy without adverse effects.
