Suicidal Ideation.
Rapid-acting treatments have shown meaningful promise for patients living with persistent suicidal thoughts.
What we mean by suicidal ideation.
Suicidal thinking is more common than most people are willing to talk about, and it is more treatable than many people have been led to believe. Persistent ideation, especially in the context of treatment-resistant depression, is something we take very seriously.
Spravato® was specifically studied for adults with major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior, and is FDA-approved for that indication. IV Ketamine has a meaningful body of research behind its use for suicidality as well.
If you are in immediate danger right now, please skip the rest of this page and call or text 988, or go to your nearest emergency room. When you are safe, we are here to help you think about what comes next.
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency room. Advanced treatment is for after the crisis is safe, not during it.
