Abstract
A patient suffering from delusional depression, Parkinson''s disease and tardive dyskinesia (TD) exhibited a marked improvement in mood and parkinsonian symptoms following electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). In contrast, her TD symptoms worsened. The inverse relation between the intensity of TD symptoms on the 1 had and the parkinsonian and depressive symptoms on the other is discussed with respect to ECT''s effect on central dopaminergic systems.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
