Ketamine versus Electroconvulsive Therapy in Depression
Depression is a major medical condition and severe refractory depression is a difficult condition to treat. Electroconvulsive therapy may treat refractory depression but has limitations in access and cost. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he evaluates ketamine as a treatment option for severe depression.
The GameChanger
Ketamine has been shown to treat depression and was recently compared to ECT in a non-inferiority trial. Relapse rates and adverse drug reaction rates between treatments were similar.
