AB  - Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment commonly used for 
      depression and other major psychiatric disorders. We discuss potential adverse 
      effects (AEs) associated with ECT and strategies for their prevention and 
      management. Common acute AEs include headache, nausea, myalgia, and confusion; 
      these are self-limiting and are managed symptomatically. Serious but uncommon AEs 
      include cardiovascular, pulmonary, and cerebrovascular events; these may be 
      minimized with screening for risk factors and by physiologic monitoring. Although 
      most cognitive AEs of ECT are short-lasting, troublesome retrograde amnesia may 
      rarely persist. Modifications of and improvements in treatment techniques 
      minimize cognitive and other AEs.
