Abstract

Convulsive therapy is widely used in the treatment of depressive states; narcostimulation is a modified convulsive therapy which alternately produces narcosis and stimulation of the central nervous system. The authors used this method with 60 depressive patients in Amritsar, India, and achieved an over-all improvement rate of 68.3 percent, which compares favorably with other types of convulsive therapy.
