A duration of 25-30 s of convulsions in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is thought to be the minimum necessary for an adequate treatment. We describe three manic attacks in a 48-year-old patient resistant to psychotropic drugs who responded to successive courses of ECT, each with unusually short durations of seizures. |
