TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Rapid Response to Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Case Report and Literature Review JO - Journal of ECT A1 - Tran, Duy V. A1 - Meyer, Justin P. A1 - Farber, Kate G. A1 - Chen, Xi Richard A1 - Rosenthal, Blake D. A1 - Kellner, Charles H. SP - e20 EP - e21 VL - 33 IS - 3 N2 - Although a typical course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) consists of 6 to 12 treatments, remission of depression has rarely been reported after a single treatment. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman hospitalized for a major depressive episode and suicidality, in the context of bipolar 1 disorder, whose symptoms fully remitted with 1 ECT. We also review the literature on rapid response to ECT.
