Search for: [Abstract = "LTS\: All patients improved to a clinically significant degree. In ECT group 1 day after first treatment, patients’ working memory was slightly impaired, this result was statistically significant. All groups showed statistically significant improvement in working memory I month after start of treatment. However there were statistically significant differences between ECT and pharmacologically treated groups at the first month of therapy\-there was greater improvement in both non\-ECT groups than in ECT group. CONCLUSION\: ECT treatment only temporally affects working memory function. The improvement of function may be a result of clinical recovery from depressive symphtomatology. There are several subpopulations of patients who have greater risk of developing cognitive disjunction after ECT . Therefore cognitive rehabilitation program should be implemented in standard ECT treatment because can slighty decrease cognitive dysfunction after ECT."]
