Are you experiencing suicidal ideation? Ketamine infusions are a great treatment for patients with severe depression and suicidal thoughts who have not responded to other treatments. It is a safe and effective alternative to electroconvulsive therapy, which can be associated with memory loss.

Ketamine infusions are a new treatment option for those who suffer from severe depression and suicidal thoughts. This drug has been shown to be effective in reducing the severity of depressive symptoms, including suicidal ideation, within hours of administration.

Facts About Suicidal Ideation

IV ketamine is not FDA-approved for suicidal ideation or any psychiatric condition. Esketamine (Spravato) nasal spray is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and for major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior — the latter approval specifically acknowledging the anti-suicidal evidence base. IV ketamine for suicidal ideation is used off-label, with a substantial and growing body of randomized controlled trial evidence supporting its use in this context.
Published clinical trials have demonstrated significant reductions in suicidal ideation scores beginning as early as 40 minutes post-infusion, with the most robust reductions documented at 4–72 hours. In a TriNetX real-world cohort of 321,367 patients, ketamine was associated with a 35% lower risk of suicidal ideation compared to other antidepressants at 7 days — and sustained lower risk through 270 days of follow-up. No conventional antidepressant produces comparable speed of anti-suicidal effect.
Yes — the post-discharge period is one of the most clinically appropriate windows for ketamine treatment. Patients who have been stabilized through inpatient psychiatric care and who have re-engaged with outpatient mental health follow-up are often good candidates for an IV ketamine series to provide rapid neurological protection during the highest-risk period after discharge. Our team will coordinate with your psychiatric provider to ensure appropriate care integration.
Yes — ketamine has demonstrated anti-suicidal effects in patients with bipolar disorder as well as unipolar depression. The 2025 TriNetX study of 2,126 bipolar patients treated with esketamine (published in European Neuropsychopharmacology) found significantly lower rates of suicide-related outcomes at 7, 30, 90, and 365 days. All bipolar patients at Revitalized Clinic are evaluated for mood stabilizer status as part of their clinical protocol.
Medically supervised IV ketamine at subanesthetic doses has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in published clinical trials involving suicidal patients. The clinical risk of untreated chronic suicidal ideation in treatment-resistant conditions typically far exceeds the clinical risk profile of supervised IV ketamine. Our team conducts a thorough risk-benefit evaluation at your free consultation and coordinates your care with your mental health provider throughout treatment.
Please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room immediately. Revitalized Clinic does not provide emergency crisis services. Once you are safe and stable, contact us to discuss whether IV ketamine is an appropriate part of your longer-term care plan.

How Does Ketamine Help Suicidal ideation

Researchers believe that ketamine helps with suicidal thoughts much like it does depression by prompting the brain to create new neural connections. This makes the brain extra versatile and able to create brand-new paths and also gives individuals a chance to develop even more positive ideas as well as behaviors.
