Knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of ECT among psychiatric trainees and early career psychiatrists in Iran
The study highlights a gap between ECT training and confidence among Iranian psychiatrists. Positive attitudes toward ECT and a high level of interest in further training underscore the need for enhanced educational programs and the standardisation of guidelines. Addressing stigma and policy gaps is crucial for improving ECT access and utilisation.
