"In alignment with its commitment to advancing access to evidence-based care for youth, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: *Recommends that all children and adolescents have access to ECT when indicated, including individualized assessment and access to ECT treatment procedures and associated clinical services, *Strongly opposes any efforts – legal, legislative, and otherwise – to block access to ECT, and *Supports funding for continued research on the use of ECT in child and adolescent psychiatric disorders."
