06. Ketamine and Suicidal Ideation
Key Points
- Several studies have shown that ketamine can lead to a rapid reduction in suicidal ideation.
- Ketamine’s rapid effect on suicidal ideation seems at least partially independent of its antidepressant effect.
- Given the lack of long-term follow-up, the concern for long-term exposure to ketamine, and the transient nature of the effect of a single-dose of ketamine, more long-term data are needed before ketamine can be used in clinical settings for the treatment of suicidal ideation.
