text: Although prior studies have suggested that ECT for depression may be cost-effective in some health care systems,19,20 we are aware of no study that has reported the cost-effectiveness of ECT for treatment-resistant depression in the United States; furthermore, to our knowledge, no prior study has evaluated when in the course of depression treatment ECT should be offered.
