Abstract

The recent network perspective of depression conceptualizes depression as a dynamic network of causally related symptoms, this in contrast with the traditional view of depression as a discrete latent entity that causes all symptoms. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for severe depression, but little is known about the temporal trajectories of symptom improvement during a course of ECT. We will present the results of a study that investigates the temporal trajectories of individual symptoms during treatment with ECT.
