ELECTRO-CONVULSIVE SHOCK TREATMENT (ECT) • Single most effective treatment for psychotic depression • Used as treatment of last resort • Actual understanding of how it works is not complete--disrupts electrical impulses of brain • Within two to four weeks many see profound mood elevation • Side Effects include memory loss (usually short term)
PSYCHOSURGERY • PREFRONTAL LOBOTOMY • Removal of brain tissue to relieve symptoms • Pre-frontal lobotomy first used on gorillas and found to calm aggression; applied to patients in mental institutions beginning in the 1950’s • Often used on schizophrenics bringing flat affect • Today smaller amount of tissue can be removed from specific areas showing malfunction--cingulotomy • Can be very effective at removing tumor and other tissue causing abnormal behaviors
BIOMEDICAL TREATMENTS • Drug Treatment Options: • Anti-Anxiety Xanax • GABA neurotransmitter • Anti-Depressant drugs Prozac • Serotonin and Norepinephrine • Anti-Psychotic drugs Thorazine • Dopamine
