Zusammenfassung

Nachdem 1938 die erste elektrokonvulsive Behandlung eines schizophrenen Patienten stattgefunden hatte und zu dieser Zeit keine andere somatische Therapie depressiver Erkrankungen etabliert war, wurden in den 40er Jahren die ersten unter einer Depression leidenden Patienten durch eine Elektrokonvulsionstherapie (EKT) effektiv behandelt [173]. Durch die erstmalige Einf¨¹hrung einer biologischen Therapie depressiver Erkrankungen konnte die Mortalität und die Rate chronifizierter Erkrankungen gesenkt werden [20, 21, 125, 127, 176]. Nach der Etablierung der Antidepressiva im Gefolge der Einführung des Imipramins (1958) ging die Anwendungshäufigkeit der EKT zurück. Weiterhin blieb jedoch die Wirksamkeit der EKT in der Depressionstherapie ein Maßstab zur Beurteilung der Wirksamkeit einer Pharmakotherapie [173].
