Morbidity Due to Disparity in Pediatric Electroconvulsive Therapy.

Dr. Miller and colleagues recently submitted a Letter to the Editor discussing current state laws that result in disparity of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) availability.1 In this current letter, we present a case of treatment-resistant childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS), with morbidity due to limited access to ECT. The patient and his family presented from Kentucky to Tennessee, despite less legislative regulation in the former. The patient's family provided informed consent for this report to be published.
