Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and side effects magnetic seizure therapy (MST) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in Bipolar Depression (MST-BpD) and Treatment Resistant Depression (MST-TRD).

Primary Outcome

Remission is defined as a score of 4 or below as assessed by The Severity Measure for Depression-Adult measure (adapted from the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 \[PHQ-9\]). The Severity Measure for Depression-Adult measure is a 9-item scale, and each item on the measure is rated on a 4-point scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating greater severity of depression.
