Core Tip	Although there are still only a small number of reports supporting the theory that electroconvulsive therapies is effective in treating symptoms of auto?immune encephalitis, it is reasonable to suggest that it should be considered as an alternative/adjunct to standard immunosuppressive therapies. There is a difficulty in differentiating between “functional” causes of psychosis and psychosis seen in anti-N Methyl D Aspartate receptor encephalitis, which may lead to some patients being treated inappropriately with anti-psychotics rather than immunomodulatory treatments. It is crucial for clinicians to be aware of the potential for patients to present to either psychiatry or neurology services to allow timely diagnosis and prompt, appro?priate treatment.
