rTMS was approved as a medical procedure by Health Canada in 2002 for treatment of major depressive disorder. It is also used in treatment of several other mental and physical conditions. rTMS is a non-medication treatment that uses a magnet applied to the scalp to stimulate specific parts of the brain implicated in these conditions. With repetitive stimulation of these areas, rTMS can alter the strength of connections between neurons in the brain, leading to changes in brain function, and improving abnormal patterns that can be associated with depression.

Ketamine is a medication that was approved by the FDA in 1970 for use as a general anesthetic. It has been used routinely since that time. It is useful because of it is generally safe. Compared to other anesthetics, it has minimal effects on the heart and respiratory system.

Ketamine Therapy is the use of ketamine to treat psychiatric conditions. When used in this way, ketamine is given in doses much lower than when it is used as an anesthetic. During Ketamine Therapy, these low doses of ketamine are administered very slowly either through an intravenous (IV) infusion or an intramuscular (IM) injection (in the muscle, like a vaccine). This type of ketamine treatment is not intended to induce general anesthesia and is sometimes called “off-label” use. Ketamine is not approved by Health Canada as a treatment for psychiatric conditions, including depression.

A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is the most commonly prescribed device for treating sleep apnea disorders. It provides positive airway pressure through a mask, to splint the airways open during a person's sleep, to prevent snoring, airway obstructions and apneas from occurring.
