Abstract:

A brief review of the literature on electroconvulsive therapy in the management of tardive dyskinesia is presented and two patients are described who were treated for major functional disorders with ECT and showed dramatic remissions in tardive dyskinesia. This response was noted during the course of ECT and has been sustained at 1-year follow-up.
