Suicide can be a scary topic to talk about. People often avoid talking about suicide because they don’t know how to deal with it or how to provide proper support.

Suicide rates continue to climb over the last 12 years, CDC reports, “In 2013, 41,149 suicides were reported, making suicide the 10th leading cause of death for Americans. In that year, someone in the country died by suicide every 12.8 minutes.” It is time we talk about it.

Ketamine has proven in a number of studies to dramatically reduce suicidal ideations. The University of Birmingham Alabama used Ketamine to treat patients with acute depression and suicidal ideations in their emergency rooms with great success. “There is a growing body of evidence that indicates that lower doses of Ketamine can reduce suicidal feelings and relieve symptoms of severe depression in a very short period of time, as little as a few hours, which makes it an extremely attractive candidate for treating acute depression,” said Richard Shelton, MD, professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurobiology.
