Abstract

The authors discuss a case report on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) during COVID-19 for a 73-year-old married woman on maintenance treatment. Topics mentioned include strict community restrictions in mid-2020 to control the spread of COVID-19 in Melbourne, Victoria, the risk of continuation ECT due to the active COVID-19 restrictions on aerosol generating procedures, and the challenge of safe provision of ECT during the pandemic.
