Cognitive coping style contributes to individual differences in ERA. Blunting is a protective factor, leading to lower levels of ERA throughout the ECT course. On the contrary, patients with a higher monitoring style tend to experience higher levels of ERA. Further insights in these coping mechanisms may help to tailor future treatment to individual patients and reduce ERA before and during ECT treatment.
