Motor seizure length decreased across ECT sessions but was not associated with clinical remission in this study. Limitations include the single-site, retrospective design and the absence of EEG-based seizure measures, which may limit generalizability. These findings challenge the utility of seizure length as a predictive marker and underscore the need for more precise indicators to tailor ECT interventions
