This CURRENTLY ENROLLING study will test whether a single dose of ketamine - a drug that blocks a brain receptor called NMDA - can cause a rapid (next day) antidepressant effect in patients with major depression. Several medications are effective for trea
After reading Michael Fumento's article several points need to be made. In the first place, after clicking the link and reading the study itself, it bears emphasizing that the sample size-18 patients, is extremely small. This by definition makes it diffic
Dr. Zarate and colleagues said a single injection of ketamine, which targets the N-methlyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, can eliminate depression symptoms within 110 minutes.
17 depressed patients randomly assigned to receive either an injection of ketamine or a placebo. For 71% of those receiving the real deal, depression improved within a single day. Indeed, 29% became nearly free symptom free. Thirty-five percent of patient
A growing body of preclinical research suggests that brain glutamate systems may be involved in the pathophysiology of major depression and the mechanism of action of antidepressants. This is the first placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial to assess th
Ketamine is now being hailed by scientists as a breakthrough treatment for severe depressives. New research has found that patients who have failed to respond to more conventional drugs can be cured of depression within as little as two hours with an inje
The social avoidance that normally develops when a mouse repeatedly experiences defeat by a dominant animal disappears when it lacks a gene for a memory molecule in a brain circuit for social learning, scientists funded by the National Institutes of Healt
One of the characteristic manifestations of prolonged stress is decreased performance in tasks that require attention, including the ability to shift focus as well as to learn and unlearn information. Anxiety and depression can make a person feel as if he

By focusing on well-known examples, Goodall, through his compelling writing style, points to easily identifiable signposts that trapped “great” men. The profiles in Why Great Men Fall give pause to others in similar environments: corporate execs, mini
