The use of medications has a high relapse rate if you discontinue them as soon as a clinical improvement is noticed. In other words, both medication and ECT require maintenance treatment. I am not necessarily a proponent of ECT. However, that one needs maintenance treatment for ECT is not a reflection of a lack of efficacy when compared to medications, which also require maintenance treatment.
