It's normal to have feelings of worry or doubt, especially if you are a first-time parent. However, if your feelings include extreme sadness or loneliness, severe mood swings and frequent crying spells, you may have postpartum depression. PsychiatryOnline subscription options offer access to the DSM-5-TR® library, books, journals, CME, and patient resources. This all-in-one virtual library provides psychiatrists and mental health professionals with key resources for diagnosis, treatment, research, and professional development. Do not take herbs, supplements, or other substances for depression without talking to your primary care provider first. Some substances may lead to dangerous drug interactions when combined with antidepressants.
Research into ketamine as an antidepressant began in the 1990s with Dr. Krystal and his colleagues Dennis Charney, MD, and Ronald Duman, PhD, at the Yale School of Medicine. At the time (as is still mostly true today) depression was considered a "black box" disease, meaning that little was known about its cause. Still, not everyone benefits from drugs that work on monoamines. The development of esketamine (Spravato) has helped shift attention beyond these neurotransmitters altogether.
Some trials show that it may be as effective as SSRIs in treating depression with anxiety. The FDA-approved drug esketamine is one version of the ketamine molecule, and makes up half of what is found in the commonly used anesthetic form of the drug. It works similarly, but its chemical makeup allows it to bind more tightly to the NMDA glutamate receptors, making it two to five times more potent. This means that patients need a lower dose of esketamine than they do ketamine. The nasal spray allows the drug to be taken more easily in an outpatient treatment setting (under the supervision of a doctor), making it more accessible for patients than the IV treatments currently required to deliver ketamine.
You may need to try more than one SSRI to find what works best antidepressant for anxiety and depression for you. Serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are another class of drugs that doctors consider first-line treatment for anxiety and depression. The issue is that it causes more undesirable side effects than other SSRI medications. It is more likely to decrease the libido and may even prevent ejaculation. Primarily, it is used for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) so using it as an antidepressant isn’t ideal. The most common forms of antidepressants are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
On March 5, 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first new medication for major depression in decades. The drug is a nasal spray called esketamine, derived from ketamine—an anesthetic that has made waves for its surprising antidepressant effect. While esketamine was in clinical trials and on its way to FDA approval in 2019, so was brexanolone (Zulresso), the first FDA-approved medication specifically for postpartum depression from Sage Therapeutics. What’s more, once a person has tried two different antidepressants, stayed with each one for long enough to feel the effects, and doesn’t get relief, their depression is considered treatment-resistant. Williams and her team are expanding the imaging study to include more participants. She also wants to test more kinds of treatments in all six biotypes, including medicines that haven’t traditionally been used for depression.
