“…40 This rate of ECT use is higher than that in Thailand (0.01 patient treated per 100) 41 and Hungary (0.6 per 100). One study in Hong Kong found that the rate of ECT use ranged from 1.34 to 1.88 patients treated per 100 inpatients discharged.…”

“…Explanations of these variations are complex, encompassing not only the diversity in organization of psychiatric services, but no doubt also grounded in professional beliefs concerning the efficacy and safety of ECT (The UK ECT Review Group 2003). On a worldwide scale, the number of patients receiving unmodified ECT is large, nearly 20,000 of patients in India (Chanpattana et al 2005b), over 6000 in Thailand (Chanpattana and Kramer 2004), and overall in Asia estimated at 11.2 patients treated with unmodified ECT per 100,000 (Chanpattana 2010). …”

“…In Thailand, ECT was first administered unmodified in 1950, modified in 1974, and brief-pulse wave first applied in 1992 (Chanpattana 2010). Whereas, in Japan, ECT was first administered unmodified in 1939 and modified 1958 (Chanpattana et al 2005a), but even so the practice of unmodified ECT in Japan in the 1990s is still profuse (Motohashi et al 2004; Chanpattana et al 2005a).…”

To explore contemporary (from 1990) utilization and practice of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) worldwide. Systematic search (limited to studies published 1990 and after) was undertaken in the databases Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, SveMed, and EBSCO/Cinahl. Primary data‐based studies/surveys with reported ECT utilization and practice in psychiatric institutions internationally, nationally, and regionally; city were included. Two reviewers independently checked study titles and abstracts according to inclusion criteria, and extracted ECT utilization and practice data from those retrieved in full text. Seventy studies were included, seven from Australia and New Zealand, three Africa, 12 North and Latin America, 33 Europe, and 15 Asia. Worldwide ECT differences and trends were evident, average number ECTs administered per patient were eight; unmodified (without anesthesia) was used in Asia (over 90%), Africa, Latin America, Russia, Turkey, Spain. Worldwide preferred electrode placement was bilateral, except unilateral at some places (Europe and Australia/New Zealand). Although mainstream was brief‐pulse wave, sine‐wave devices were still used. Majority ECT treated were older women with depression in Western countries, versus younger men with schizophrenia in Asian countries. ECT under involuntary conditions (admissions), use of ambulatory‐ECT, acute first line of treatment, as well as administered by other professions (geriatricians, nurses) were noted by some sites. General trends were only some institutions within the same country providing ECT, training inadequate, and guidelines not followed. Mandatory reporting and overall country ECT register data were sparse. Many patients are still treated with unmodified ECT today. Large global variation in ECT utilization, administration, and practice advocates a need for worldwide sharing of knowledge about ECT, reflection, and learning from each other's experiences.

“…The history and development of psychology and counseling in Thailand can be traced to early efforts to build a secure, modern, and democratic society by offering formal and Western‐oriented education and providing mental health care for Thais during the 42‐year reign (1868–1910) of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V; Bhanthumnavin, 1987; Chanpattana, 2010).…”
