ECT is currently used to treat severe depression, treatment-resistant depression, severe mania, depression with psychosis or suicidality and catatonia. A team of experts in ECT, who have performed thousands of ECT treatments, is now assembled in Gainesville and includes Brent Carr, M.D., Louis Solomon, M.D., Richard Holbert, M.D. and Khurshid Khurshid, M.D.
