Abstract

The development of akathisia-like behavior during a course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in a patient with psychotic depression is described. The ECT-induced akathisia responded successfully to mianserin. It seems that the beneficial effect of low-dose mianserin (15 mg/day) is related to its prominent antagonistic activity at the 5-HT_2A/5-HT_2C- receptors.
