Abstract
Several topics have been reviewed pertaining to psychiatric patients requiring either surgery or ECT. Most of the morbidity unique to this group of patients in the perioperative period results from drug side effects or interactions. Complications can be minimized by familiarity with the side effects of psychotropic medication and by the discontinuation of these medications when indicated.
