Center for Brain Stimulation

Adolescents

For adolescents ages 16 to 17 with severe, treatment-resistant depression, we offer the same three services that we offer adults: electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and ketamine therapy.

For an adolescent younger than 18-years-old to receive a course of ECT, the State of Texas requires three physicians to certify in writing that the treatment is necessary.

The adolescent’s legal guardian must give permission for each treatment.

Discover the benefits of these therapies.

Neil Puri, MD, is the medical director of our Center for Brain Stimulation.
