Electroconvulsive therapy-induced mania: a case report
J Med Case Rep.
.
Abstract
Introduction: Despite its controversial history, electroconvulsive therapy is generally an effective treatment with few serious side effects. One rare but troublesome side effect of electroconvulsive therapy is mania.
Case presentation: A 33-year-old Turkish woman developed mania on three separate occasions after receiving electroconvulsive therapy for severe depressive episodes.
Conclusion: Patients who experience electroconvulsive therapy-related mania should be evaluated for alternative treatments when presenting with severe depression.
