Effectiveness of Electroconvulsive Therapy in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder and Comorbid Borderline Personality Disorder

Conclusions These data showed that a positive BPD screen does not necessarily predict a poorer response to ECT, nor does it predict greater symptom recurrence after ECT. This does not suggest that ECT is necessarily an appropriate treatment for major depressive disorder in patients with a comorbid BPD, given the limitations of screening instruments.
