Answer: Depression treatment would include the monamine agonists (MAOIs, SSRIs, tricyclics), but these take several weeks to lift mood. Other modes include ECT, transcranial magnetic stimulation, deep brain stimulation of the subgenual ACC, stimulation of the vagus nerve, injection of ketamine, and total sleep deprivation. Ketamine and total sleep deprivation offer the advantage of rapidly lifting the symptoms of depression, although more slowly than ECT. Most AD drugs take weeks to lift mood.
