That's correct, assuming SSRS's technique in this study was used on people who were candidates for ECT-- in other words, people who had not been helped by any other therapy. If it was less effective than ECT, all that means is that it was no more effective than other non-ECT therapies for these particular people. ECT is effective in 60-70 percent of those who are candidates for it, which is pretty impressive when you think about it. Given how drastic it is, it would be a tremendous boon to find something more benign that was at least equally effective in such patients. ------------------------ Yahoo!
