Excerpt

This chapter discusses brain-based interventions in child and adolescent psychiatry. These include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for adolescents, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and deep brain stimulation. With the exception of ECT for adolescents, these brain-based interventions should currently be considered investigational procedures and not routinely prescribed for psychiatric disorders within the pediatric age range.
