Depressive Symptom Dimensions in Treatment-Resistant Major Depression and Their Modulation With Electroconvulsive Therapy

Conclusions Electroconvulsive therapy targets the underlying source of depressive symptomatology and may confer differential degrees of improvement in certain core depressive symptoms. Our findings of differential trajectories of symptom clusters over the ECT index might help related predictive biomarker studies to refine their approaches by identifying predictors of change along each latent symptom dimension.
