Brief Summary: Treatment-resistant depression TRD is a common cause of disability and one of the most common psychiatric disorders worldwide

Electroconvulsive therapy ECT is currently the most effective treatment for TRD Recent developments showed esketamine to be a rapid-acting and effective antidepressant drug and it has been hailed as a breakthrough in treating TRD Common treatment algorithms for TRD list ECT as a treatment option but esketamine has not yet found its exact position in those algorithms

To the investigators knowledge a longitudinal randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of ECT and intranasal esketamine in TRD patients has not been conducted Furthermore the investigators intend to measure effects of ECT and intranasal esketamine on brain connectivity and structure using functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI

In this study inpatients with TRD at the University Hospital for Psychiatry I Medical University Innsbruck will be randomized to ECT or intranasal esketamine Short- and medium-term treatment effects on functional and structural connectivity in the brain will be determined using fMRI
