More travel tips: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/denmark http://wikitravel.org/en/Denmark 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€!)

8. Electroconvulsivotherapy (ECT)

3.8 name: Electroconvulsivotherapy (ECT)

- description: 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 last-resort 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.
