AIMS We reviewed studies that reported speed of antidepressant response to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in both bipolar depression (BPD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). METHODS We identified English language reports allowing this comparison. RESULTS Ten studies met our criteria. Four reported significantly faster response in BPD and in one there was trend for faster response. None reported evidence for slower response in BPD. CONCLUSION The findings support further study of speed of response to ECT in BPD.
