    Abstract Background: Compulsory treatment involves the hospital admission of individuals with mental disorders in appropriate facilities through judicial decisions. However, limited information is available regarding the similarities and differences in compulsory treatment legislation in Portuguese-speaking countries.
    Aims: To analyse the commonalities and differences in compulsory treatment legislation in Portuguese-speaking countries, where Portuguese is the primary official language, including Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, East Timor, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
    Methods: A comparative analysis of the specific legislation on compulsory treatment in Portuguese-speaking countries was conducted. National development plans were analysed in countries lacking legislation. A purposive sampling of mental health professionals was contacted to gather information on the countries under study.
    Results: Among the eight Portuguese-speaking countries examined, specific legislation regarding compulsory treatment was found only in Brazil, Cape Verde, and Portugal. These countries, with the lowest poverty rates, exhibited a notable degree of homogeneity in the criteria supporting compulsory treatment, ensuring the protection of individual rights. In contrast, in Angola, East Timor, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe, compulsory treatment primarily relies on mental health development plans, resulting in significant variations in the presented criteria.
    Conclusions: The significant disparities in compulsory treatment policies among Portuguese-speaking countries, with only Brazil, Cape Verde, and Portugal having specific legislation, underscore the need for a collective effort to establish more consistent procedures and safeguard individual rights.

    Abstract Abstract: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment of undisputed efficacy for severe and treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders. Notwithstanding extensive data on efficacy and safety, it is significantly underused, corresponding to one of the most stigmatized approaches in psychiatry. The list of problems for which ECT is potentially effective does not include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), resulting in only a few available case reports in the literature in which OCD is the target of this specific therapeutic strategy. The authors describe a patient with refractory OCD for whom ECT was prescribed, with remarkable clinical response and functional improvement. The existence of a clear response to ECT in reported cases of OCD, albeit in a globally small number of patients, should make it essential to identify predictors of ECT response that could assist clinicians in assessing and guiding such cases, particularly those labeled as refractory to treatment.
