(405 ILCS 5/2-110.5)
Sec. 2-110.5. Electroconvulsive therapy for minors. If a recipient is a
minor, that recipient's parent or guardian is authorized, only with the
approval of the court under the procedures set out in Section 2-107.1, to
provide consent for participation of the minor in electroconvulsive
therapy if the parent or guardian deems it to be in the best interest of the
minor. In addition to the requirements in Section 2-107.1, prior to the court
entering an order approving treatment by electroconvulsive therapy, 2 licensed
psychiatrists, one of which may
be the minor's treating psychiatrist, who have examined the patient must concur
in the determination that the minor should participate in treatment by electroconvulsive
therapy.
