ABSTRACT
Serum 5-MeTHF levels are reported in 26 subjects, before and after completing a course of ECT, and compared to 21 healthy volunteers. 5-MeTHF levels of depressed subjects were significantly lower than controls before and after ECT. There was no difference in 5-MeTHF levels between ECT responders and non-responders but folate deficiency was related to severity of depression before ECT. Serum 5-MeTHF was not related to treatment response and values remained markedly low even after a good response to treatment.
