Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In a sample of patients already receiving esketamine treatment as part of their clinical care, this project seeks to test whether we can improve depression by introducing helpful information delivered by a computer-based training protocol. This work could ultimately lead to the ability to treat depression more efficiently and with broader dissemination by rapidly priming the brain for helpful forms of learning.
