On 10 September 2017, world suicide prevention day was organized. Globally, suicide is acknowledged as an important public health concern, and that this problem is growing exponentially. To prevent suicide, interventions used are mostly psychosocial or medications. Psychosocial ones include preventative and therapeutic measures including psychoeducation and screening while medications include antidepressants, antianxiety and other treatments. In the cases of severe depression with suicidal tendencies, electroconvulsive therapy is administered.
Medications like antidepressant drugs reduce the symptoms of depression thereby also the suicidal ideation may rarely cause agitation and suicidal ideation as a side effect; this is the case in children and young adults in between the time when these medicines are started and the doses are increased. Recently, IV ketamine therapy has been approved by FDA for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression. The ketamine infusion therapy has so far proved to be highly effective in preventing suicidal ideation among patients with depression.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic drug mainly which is most commonly used in surgeries for pain relief without compromising breathing. It has quick therapeutic effects on pain receptors and also has a calming effect.
In small doses, ketamine stops the spread of glutamate (the most abundant neurotransmitter in your brain). This can stabilize your mood quickly and suppress unwanted thoughts like self-harming. It also calms down the symptoms of depression much faster than any other traditional medication.
Promising results have been achieved with ketamine infusion therapy in helping the patients to quickly improve their mental state without any significant adverse effects. This is highly effective in cases where the symptoms of depression persist even after taking all the conventional medications and therapies.
