摘要：

The relationship between age and the outcome of ECT was prospectively studied in 78 patients with DSM-III-R major depression with melancholia or psychosis. Sixty-eight patients were similarly evaluated for change in cognitive performance before and after treatment. Strongly positive correlations between increasing age, response to ECT and improved cognitive function were demonstrated and emphasize that ECT remains an important treatment for depression in old age, where the greatest benefits may be seen.
