And the SDS score of the study group was siginficantly lower than that of the control group （t=-3.008， P<0.05）. The total effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than that of the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （90.63% vs. 63.33%， χ2=8.725， P?0.05）.Conclusion EECP therapy combined with drug has better efficacy on the patients with depressive episodes， and it can improve social function effectively.
