Summary

This study looks at whether the way doctors explain a sedation treatment can change how well it works for depression. Twenty adults with major depressive disorder will receive a single propofol infusion. Afterward, they will be told about their brain activity in either a 'response-focused' or 'diagnosis-focused' way. Researchers will track mood changes to see which education approach leads to better results.
