Anesthetic Drug Reduces Suicidal Tendencies in Depressed Patients
 From Asian News International - Sep 11, 2009
Washington, Sept 11: A drug previously used as an anesthetic has been 
found to significantly  reduce suicidal tendencies in depressed 
patients, say researchers. The study showed that ketamine acutely 
reduced suicidal thoughts when patients were assessed 24 hours after 
a single infusion.  This reduction in suicidality was maintained when 
patients received repeated doses over the next  two weeks.
