Abstract
<p class="first" id="d837483e75">Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective
therapy for severe depressive
and psychotic disorders. As patients may be subject to legal incapacity and lack of
insight, treatment may be administered against the patient's will. There is only limited
evidence on the use of ECT against the patient's non-autonomous will.
