When treatment for depression hits a wall

Providing the latest in medication assisted treatment for depression in San Diego

Sometimes, people need antidepressants that work as instant lifesavers when the the ship of their lives is about to sink amidst a storm.

Unfortunately, the serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that aim to strengthen the brain’s neurotransmitters and circuits normally take one to two weeks to begin to alliviate acute depressive symptoms. That delay poses an increased risk of suicide for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
After almost half a decade observing how esketamine might relieve symptoms in such adults, many respected psychiatrists are concluding that it is the first medication to work for treatment-resistant depression, diminishing suicidal thoughts with immediate effect.
