ECT May Help Manage Depression In Patients With Huntington’s Disease
Approximately one-third of patients with Huntington's disease (HD) experience depression. In 21 published case reports where electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was used to treat depression in patients with HD, 20 reported positive results from the therapy. No side effects were reported in these cases.
