Many patients fulfill criteria for both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is generally acknowledged to be the most‐effective treatment for refractory MDD. This study investigated the efficacy of ECT on long‐term clinical outcome of comorbid PTSD and MDD.
