Electroconvulsive therapy [ECT] was compared with imipramine in the treatment of endogenous depression in a double-blind randomized controlled trial. Both treatments produced equally significant improvement, which was equally maintained until the end of 6 mo. ECT produced its effects quicker and with lesser subjective side effects to the patient. ECT did not cause any organic brain dysfunction as assessed at the end of 3 and 6 mo.
