Prediction 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...

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
