February 2015 Meeting

out!

Time 7:00 pm
Where: Fellowship Congregational Church
2900 S Harvard Ave, Tulsa
"Among
psychiatrists, there is little controversy about ECT. The National
Institute of Mental Health, the American Psychiatric Association, the
American Medical Association, and the U.S. Surgeon General all endorse
ECT as a valuable tool in the treatment of certain psychiatric
disorders, including depression."--Irving M. Reti, M.B.B.S., director of
the Electroconvulsive Therapy and an assistant professor in the
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine.
"Depression is such a pervasive problem, and the medications available today do
not come anywhere close to ECT in terms of effectiveness. Doctors who perform
ECT essentially treat people who are medication resistant or who have suboptimal
responses to the medicines, and about 85% of these difficult-to-treat patients
improve with ECT. This is a remarkably high response rate in a severely depressed group of people" Irving M. Reti, M.B.B.S.
