Additional Study Information:
We are performing functional MRI (fMRI) scans before starting and after completing an acute course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatment. These scans are being performed to identify brain changes that occur after an acute course of ECT for participants with treatment-resistant depression. We also intend to perform two follow-up fMRI scans at two-months and six-months post-treatment to continue monitoring brain changes, as well as to track participants' progress as they become further removed from their course of ECT anti-depressant treatment.
