Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), often referred to in the question as EST, is typically considered when antidepressants and other treatments are ineffective or not an option. It's not a requirement for most patients to receive an antidepressant before ECT, although antidepressants may be used in conjunction with ECT or in attempts to treat the condition before considering ECT.
