case_images: Our patient was clinically markedly improved after two ECT sessions (Figures 1(a)-1(d)). After seven ECT sessions, she was clearly improved (Figures 1(a)-1(d)), and it was decided to taper ECT sessions to every 4-5 days with termination after nine sessions. During the improvement after eleven ECTs, she had a more negative symptomatology with a negative bipolar index, as calculated by the PANS-S rating scale (Figure 1(c)).
