Five patients with depressive illness who were DST nonsuppressors and who did not respond to unilateral nondominant brief-pulse ECT are described. When given a subsequent course of bilateral sinusoidal ECT, all five demonstrated marked clinical improvement associated with normalization of their DSTs.
