Recently the Food and Drug Administration approved esketamine (Spravato) for treatment-resistant depression to be administered under physician supervision. It’s a derivative of ketamine, a drug commonly used for anesthesia that has also been used recreationally. This is the second time in the past year that a new drug related to a street drug has entered the market, following last June’s FDA approval of Epidiolex, a form of medical marijuana for treating childhood seizures. This openness to new treatments is a signal to the medical community that best practices can and must change. It’s also a signal that practitioners must be trained to supervise “the trip.”

Sadly, it’s estimated that one-fifth of adolescents suffer from a serious mental health disorder at some point. As a result, nearly 7,000 young people between the ages of 10 and 24 died from suicide in 2017. This begs the question: why is this happening to our children so frequently?

Psychotherapy is not what most people think of as a quick fix. From its early Freudian roots, it has taken the form of 50- to 60-minute sessions repeated weekly (or more often) over a period of months or even years. For modern cognitive-behavioral therapy, 10 to 20 weekly sessions is typical. But must it be so?

In patients with remitting depression, higher suicidal ideation during the current depressive episode, residual symptoms at remission, and greater severity of side effects at remission may be predictors of subsequent relapse, according to a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.

In March, three people connected to mass school shootings died by suicide, raising questions about the lingering effects of such trauma on a person’s mental health.
Two teenagers who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, took their own lives within days of each other. The father of a child killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT, died by suicide a few days later.
Suicide can occur in clusters, especially among teens. But it’s too early to tell if these deaths are connected in any way, are related to having experienced similar mass traumas — or if they simply occurred close together by chance, says April Foreman.

Our thoughts and fears, movements and sensations all arise from the electrical blips of billions of neurons in our brain. Streams of electricity flow through neural circuits to govern these actions of the brain and body, and some scientists think that many neurological and psychiatric disorders may result from dysfunctional circuits.
As this understanding has grown, some scientists have asked whether we could locate these faulty circuits, reach deep into the brain and nudge the flow to a more functional state, treating the underlying neurobiological cause of ailments like tremors or depression.

Discontinuation and change are part of life. We all start and stop various activities. Jobs change, relationships change. So, too, may medical treatments, such as antidepressants that help many people navigate depression and anxiety. Planning changes in advance tends to make things easier and smoother. You may start a medication for treatment and discover that it’s not helping your particular medical issue. Or perhaps you’re having side effects. Or maybe your condition has improved, and you no longer need the drug. If so, working with your doctor to change or stop taking an antidepressant slowly may help you avoid uncomfortable symptoms known as discontinuation syndrome.

Perinatal depression — depression that occurs during pregnancy or after the birth of a child — is surprisingly common, affecting about one in seven women. And, although depression is debilitating at any time, it may carry a particularly heavy public health burden during the transition to parenthood. Women with depression are less likely to obtain medical care for themselves and their babies, and may struggle to bond with their infants. It’s no wonder that the children of depressed mothers experience heightened long-term risk of emotional and behavioral problems.
Despite this grim picture, a new report from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force offers some hope.
