Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common disorder that can be challenging to treat. Currently, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the treatment of choice for MDD, but has unpleasant side effects. At Royal University Hospital, a general anesthetic is provided for this treatment, and propofol is the most commonly used anesthetic agent. Ketamine is an alternative anesthetic agent with antidepressant properties.
