Usefulness of Hamilton rating scale for depression subset scales and full versions for electroconvulsive therapy.

<h4>Objectives</h4>We investigated the predictive value of subset scales and full versions of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) for therapeutic outcomes in ECT.<h4>Methods</h4>This secondary analysis of patients with major depression (N = 136; 63% female; age =...
