However, no adequately powered studies have directly investigated the efficacy of antipsychotic pharmacotherapy in relapse prevention of psychotic depression after ECT. In the absence of such literature, we reviewed the clinical practice of 4 academic medical centers that have made research contributions in the treatment of psychotic depression over the past 20 years.
