ECT has been administered to infants, children and teenagers between the ages of two and eighteen, in Europe, North America and Australasia. There are several alternate forms of effective behavioural and cognitive interventions for the range of problems experienced by minors. In this paper, some of the reasons for the contemporary popularity of ECT administration with children and teenagers are explored, via a critical evaluation of the published literature.
