N1 - Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for 20 medically ill geriatric patients who received electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for post-stroke depression from January 1982 to January 1991 at Massachusetts General Hospital. Of the 19 patients (95%) who improved with ECT, 7 patients (37%) suffered relapses despite maintenance anti-depressant medications.
