Be prepared: Living expenses are high in
Denmark . There are certain tricks to
overcome this, though. Discount
supermarket chains (Netto, Fakta)
have nice high quality food. Brewing your
own coffee (a latte is 4,70 !) , cooking
your own meals by far is the cheapest
option (and partly why Danes invite friends
over instead of going out and bring lunch
to work instead of buying at the canteen).
Many museums are free on Wednesdays
etc. Renting a bike will save you loads on
public transport (a ticket is 3,30!)

Electroconvulsivotherapy (ECT)
- introduction:
- description:
The Hospital of Magalhes Lemos is a

Psychiatric Hospital that provides mental
health and psychiatric care to the
population of the North of Portugal. The
ECT Unit was established in 2006 with the
aim to do ECT to patients in the ward, in
some cases to out-patients and in few
cases as a maintenance treatment.
The unit does ECT 3 times a week

(Monday, Wednsday and Friday) in a mean
of 4-6 patients each day, between 8:30
10:30, using a MECTA Spectrum 5000Q
device.
ECT is a treatment for severe psychiatric
illnesses. Present ECT techniques use
sedation, muscle paralysis, ventilation with
oxygen, and brief-pulse electrical stimuli
that virtually eliminate the past risk of
fracture and minimize transient cognitive
dysfunctions. The mortality rate (about 2
deaths per 100 000 treatments) is less than
that reported for normal childbirth and is
associated with the anesthesia risks.
Although the effect of ECT on memory
emerges in public discussions, previous
research clearly demonstrates the
circumscribed and mostly transient nature
of the cognitive effects of ECT.
Despite its well-documented efficacy and
safety, ECT is widely stigmatized as a lastresort treatment.
The high incidence of chronicity and
recurrence in severe psychiatric illnesses
should encourage greater attention to
improvements in ECT practice and to
studies of its mechanism of action.
Unfortunately, the lack of experience with
ECT during residency training and the
failure to require such experience for
specialty certification limits the ability of
clinical psychiatrists to recognize patients
for whom ECT may offer effective relief.
