Abstract
Recent reviews attest to the safety and efficacy of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in psychiatrically ill patients with concomitant neurolo gic disease. Four patients with mood disorders and cerebral palsy are described who achieved a therapeutic response with ECT without neurolo gic deterioration. ECT is safe in the treatment of mood disorders in p atients with cerebral palsy.
