Clinical Predictors of Response to Ect in Severe Depression
Sir, I read with interest the article by Gupta et al. (2000, 60-65). The authors administered 6 electro-convulsive therapy (ECT), over 2 week period, in an uncontrolled open manner on a purposively selected sample of antidepressant naive or antidepressant free patients (N=22) of Severe Depressive Episode with the objective to ascertain which of the selected socioderrographic and clinical variab...
متن کاملResponse to First Ect in Depression : a Predictor of Outcome
Response to first ECT in depression and its value as a predictor of response to ECT is a poorly researched subject. Twenty-two antidepressant-free patients of severe depression (ICD - 10) were administered a course of 6 ECTs using bilateral sine-wave electrical stimulation with serial assessments on Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Using 'a priori' definition for 'good response' (≥ 60% ...
متن کاملResponse to ECT in depressive subtypes and mixed state
Methods 130 patients (17 with major depressive disorder (UP), 67 with major depressive episode in bipolar disorder type II (BP II), 46 with major depressive episode in bipolar disorder type I (BP I) and 50 with mixed state (MS) according to the DSM-IV criteria) were included in the study and treated with bilateral ECT, on a twice-a-week schedule. The patients were assessed before (baseline) and...
متن کاملE!ect of noise on neuron transient response
A good approximation to the integrate-and-"re model with di!usive noise can be obtained using a noisy threshold model. This allows the response of a population of noisy neurons to a current transient to be described using a linear "lter. Here we apply these analytical results to the peristimulus time histogram (PSTH) of a single neuron. The e!ect of the noise on the PSTH in our model is similar...
متن کاملPrediction of Antidepressant Efficacy from Response to the First Ect
1. Gupta et al have proposed a 9% depression attenuation separator to differentiate potential responders from potential non responders. This separator is small and is intuitively not logical; for example, a 10% figure would have made m&re sense. The choice of a non-intuitive figure suggests that the separation between responders and non responders was very narrow. In other words, response to th...
