简要总结
The investigators aim to examine the magnitude of non-specific effects in the treatment of depressive episodes with esketamine, by providing patients in the intervention group with a pretreatment presentation and post-treatment follow up session, to assess whether nonspecific effects can be used effectively to improve the effectiveness of treatment with esketamine.
详细描述
Primary Objective: To determine whether a positive presentation before first treatment improves expectation of improvement from treatment in patients receiving esketamine for a depressive episode within 24 hours after the first treatment. Secondary Objectives: To determine whether a post-treatment follow up session to provide encouragement and reassurance improves expectation of improvement from treatment in patients receiving esketamine for a depressive episode within 24 hours after the first treatment. To determine whether a positive presentation results in an improved response from treatment in patients receiving esketamine for a depressive episode as measured by MADRS score within 24 hours after the first treatment. To determine whether a positive presentation before first treatment, combined with a posttreatment follow up session after first treatment, result in an improved response from treatment in patients receiving esketamine for a depressive episode as measured by MADRS score by the end of the acute course of esketamine treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Group Difference in Change in Question 6 Score on Treatment Credibility and Expectancy Scale (CEQ-6)
时间窗: baseline and after presentation (before treatment 1), up to 30 days
Participants' expectations will be assessed by the change in the group score of item 6 of the CEQ-6 at baseline and after the presentation (before treatment 1). Item 6 is scored from 0% (not at all) to 100% (very much). Higher scores indicates expectations have been met.
次要结局
- Group Difference in Change in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Score(baseline and within 24 hours post treatment 1)
