Suicidal Ideation Q & A

What is suicidal ideation?

Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts or ideas centered around suicide. It may involve planning of suicide as well.

People with depression may experience suicidal ideation when their negative emotions become so overwhelming that they feel it’s the only option left. However, there are treatments that can set you free from those damaging thoughts.

What is the best treatment for suicidal ideation?

The initial treatment for people struggling with depression is usually psychotherapy and antidepressant medications. But antidepressants don’t typically start working for at least a couple of weeks. And, many people need to try several antidepressants to find the right fit. As with antidepressants, psychotherapy takes time.

When you’re struggling with acute suicidal ideation, you need results fast. At Ketamine Health & Wellness Clinics of Ohio, the team truly cares about their patients and wants them to find peace and healing as quickly as possible, so they offer an innovative treatment called ketamine infusions.

Ketamine was introduced commercially in 1970 as a surgical anesthetic. More recently, ketamine is increasingly being used as a rapid-acting treatment for chronic treatment-resistant depression, suicidal ideation, and other mental health disorders.

Intravenous ketamine shows very positive results for people with treatment-resistant depression and people who are in a crisis state with suicidal ideation. It also has a lower risk of side effects than other treatments.

How does ketamine decrease suicidal ideation?

Theories about exactly how ketamine has such beneficial effects are still evolving. Experts currently believe that ketamine increases beneficial brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) like glutamate and GABA, both of which are important for mood. Ketamine acts on a wider range of neurotransmitters than antidepressants.

In addition, ketamine can help regenerate damaged brain neurons, which restores the areas of the brain damaged in people with depression.

How soon does ketamine work for suicidal ideation?

Ketamine often works in the first treatment session or within hours. Other patients may need the full 6-infusion induction series of ketamine to feel relief.

Ketamine can reduce depression and suicidal ideation dramatically, and recent studies show that most patients taking intravenous (IV) ketamine achieved relief from suicidal ideation in three days or less.

The effects of ketamine for suicidal ideation can be long lasting, and there are other patients who require boosters. Our team consists of mental health professionals who will work with you and your other providers for the best ongoing care possible.

Ketamine treatments are constantly monitored using state-of-the-art noninvasive vital sign monitoring, and the Ketamine Health & Wellness Clinics of Ohio team is there to support you throughout the treatment process. Book your appointment online or call the office for help today.

Dr. Bellanti is a excellent provider who is tremendously knowledgeable on the most up to date evidence based practices for Major depression. She and her team were able to help me persevere when I was going through a long period without treatment due to insurance issues. Overall, Dr. B, Jordan, and her entire team are highly attentive, professional, kind, good-humored, and understanding people. She is a phenomenonal provider and physician for folks who need mental health treatment.

GEORGIA N.

As a patient with treatment resistant depression I was so excited to learn of the benefits and effectiveness of Ketamine. I did lots of independent research to educate myself, but if I should have any questions they always explain things in a way I understand. They also facilitate the self administration of Esketamine. They work for you the patient by being flexible and working with your insurance and pharmacy providers. They set up a billing model to accommodate those who have insurance and/or pharmacy benefits that don’t cover the medication. They helped me get hooked up with a caseworker from the pharmaceutical company whom in tern helped me get into the discount program available. Jordan also manages my other mental health medications and has allowed me to participate in my care decisions all along. The physician is also very nice and supportive. She called me personally and talked me through a hiccup that presented itself due to my being hospitalized for an unrelated health issue. She told me that she would do whatever she had to and wasn’t afraid “to go to the top” if she had to in order to make sure I continued to get my treatments. They care. It’s a very laid back environment. They make sure you are comfortable and safe in the fancy recliner chairs, adjustable lighting, something to drink, mints, call button, and even provide a phone charger for whatever type of phone you have. If you have been thinking about Ketamine, do the research and see if it’s what you need. If it is, let these wonderful people help you get it done. You won’t regret it!!

Cassendra Marion

Jordan is a great provider. The practice is a safe, warm, inviting place. They are very accommodating and go above and beyond. The doctor also reached out individually to me on multiple occasions to answer questions/provide information. They seem to have a very collaborative relationship which is a change from other practices who have doctors who oversee greater than 10 advanced providers. Would recommend to friends and family!

Sierra Echols

Fantastic team and office. They've helped with insurance every step of the way. Highly recommend.

Katheryn Harrison
