The purpose of this proposal is to explore quantitative Electroencephalogram(qEEG) biomarkers that would predict Electroconvulsive Therapy(ECT) Response in Schizophrenia (SZD). The investigators will recruit 30 SZD patients who are preparing for ECT treatment and assesse psychotic symptoms using Positive and Negative symptom scale(PANSS) before and after 8-sessions clinical course of ECT treatment. These patients needed ECT treatment are assessed by clinicians according to American Psychiatric Association(APA) guidelines. Meanwhile resting EEG will be recorded for 10 minutes before the first episode of ECT treatment. Decrease of PANSS scores will be calculated after the last session of ECT treatment to distinguish responder/non-responder.
