Palliative care for refractory depressive symptoms in a female veteran geriatric patient

Article

SAMMOUR, Yasser | SMITH, Alyssa C. | WALLER, Sydney | RIDDLE, Michael | CHOI, Yena

Psychiatric treatment options, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), can be lifesaving for individuals suffering from severe mental illness. For individuals who are unable to make or communicate their own medical decisions, this decision may fall on a legal guardian, who will make decisions on the patient's behalf. Here we discuss the considerations of end-of-life planning in a patient with severe mental illness under guardianship when treatment modalities, in this case ECT, are no longer effective.
