Özet
Comorbidity is highly prevalent in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients. Treatment methods are often not enough to decrease all of the PTSD symptoms, especially in cases where PTSD is comorbid with psychotic disorder. We have reported two males with combat related PTSD and comorbid psychotic disorder, who were successfully treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). We suggest that ECT should be considered as a reasonable treatment alternative for relevant cases.
