50-64%. Hmm. Well that is looking a little more believable than the ol' ECT cures 90% of patients nonsense that some "shock docs" still seem to quote.
Keep in mind a few things. ECT relapse is very high. ECT tends to work better in patients who have *not* failed many other antidepressants. (Don't ask me why you would do ECT if you havn't failed other treatments but)
