En randomiserad klinisk studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet har jämfört effekten av intravenös behandling med ketamin mot ECT-behandling vid svår depression. Resultaten stärker bilden av ketamin som en möjlig behandling, men visar också att ECT-behandling hjälper fler. Under senare år har ketamin seglat upp som en ny behandling, eftersom studier visat att det har en antidepressiv effekt.
