    Abstract

    Major depressive disorder (MDD) patients (n = 66) treated with electroconvulsive therapy were stratified by the presence (n = 30) or absence (n = 36) of delusional symptoms (by Research Diagnostic Criteria) to compare their response to treatment. At discharge from hospital 83% of the MDD with psychosis group and 58% of the MDD without psychosis group were good responders (P = 0.03). The implications of this are discussed.
