Patients' perspectives on electroconvulsive therapy: systematic review.
OBJECTIVE: To ascertain patients' views on the benefits of and possible memory loss from electroconvulsive therapy. DESIGN: Descriptive systematic review. DATA SOURCES: Psychinfo, Medline, Web of Science, and Social Science Citation Index databases, and bibliographies. STUDY SELECTION: Articles with patients' views after treatment with electroconvulsive therapy. DATA EXTRACTION: 26 studies carried out by clinicians and nine reports of work undertaken by patients or with the collaboration of patients were identified; 16 studies investigated the perceived benefit of electroconvulsive therapy and seven met criteria for investigating memory loss. DATA SYNTHESIS: The studies showed heterogeneity. The methods used were associated with levels of perceived benefit. At least one third of patients reported persistent memory loss. CONCLUSIONS: The current statement for patients from the Royal College of Psychiatrists that over 80% of patients are satisfied with electroconvulsive therapy and that memory loss is not clinically important is unfounded.
