MADRS score will be used to assess whether a positive presentation results in an improved response from treatment in participants receiving esketamine for a depressive episode within 24 hours after the first treatment. MADRS is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire used to measure the severity of depressive episodes. Each item is rated on a 0-6 scale, resulting in a maximum total score of 60 points, with higher scores indicative of greater depressive symptomology.
