How long M\u2010ECT should be continued, and what the outcome is after its discontinuation has not been adequately studied. In our tertiary psychiatric hospital, M\u2010ECT treatments were suspended at the start of the COVID\u201019 pandemic. We aimed to determine the 6\u2010month relapse rate and time to relapse after abrupt discontinuation of M\u2010ECT and to assess the impact of patient and treatment characteristics on the risk of relapse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty\u2010one patients whose M\u2010ECT was discontinued abruptly were followed up prospectively for 6\u00a0months, or until relapse (i.e., hospital admission, restart of ECT, change of pharmacotherapy, or suicide (attempt)).

A greater number of previous acute ECT courses, a diagnosis of psychotic disorder (compared with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder), and a shorter interval between M\u2010ECT treatments at the time of discontinuation were significantly associated with increased risk of relapse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Almost half of the patients relapsed, similar to the relapse rate after a successful acute course of ECT.
