Ketamine was first approved by the FDA as an anesthetic, but has been used as a depression treatment since 2006. Infused at a low dose from an IV into the bloodstream, ketamine has been shown to improve depression in 75-80% of patients and decrease suicidal thoughts.
Stressful or overwhelming events often are the chief cause of suicidal ideation. Financial struggles, loss of loved ones or relationships, or a debilitating illness may increase likelihood of suicidal thoughts.
If you or someone you may know if suffering from suicidal ideation and would like more information about ketamine infusions for suicidal thoughts, call The Invictus Clinic today at 770-580-1042 and schedule your free consultation or contact us online.
While these factors do not always cause suicidal ideation, they may contribute to those already suffering.
Additionally, the following conditions are linked to a higher risk of suicidal thoughts:
Anorexia nervosa
Bipolar disorder/depression
Body dysmorphic disorder
Major depressive disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Schizophrenia
Substance abuse
Additionally, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has a set of five action steps for helping someone through suicidal ideation.
Although professional help is the best option, there are some home remedies that can decrease the risk of suicidal thoughts.
