[Impact of the diagnostic method for borderline personality disorder on the acute response and the risk of early relapse in major depressed individuals treated with ECT: A systematic literature review].

Despite the need for studies of better scientific quality, the results of this systematic review seem to indicate that screening for BPD by systematic psychiatric interview during the pre-ECT assessment and the establishment of adequate therapeutic strategies in case of comorbid BPD could be promising options to allow better acute response and better prevention of early relapses in major depressed individuals treated with ECT.
