Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Total sleep deprivation or injection of ketamine can produce an immediate lifting of depression, while the other treatment options listed do not have an immediate effect on depression. MAOIs and SSRIs can take several weeks to take effect and repeated cocaine use or alcohol/barbiturate abuse can actually worsen depression in the long term. Ether is not a commonly used treatment for depression.
