Synaptic Loss and the Pathophysiology of PTSD: Implications for Ketamine as a Prototype Novel Therapeutic

Psychopharmacological Agents and Suicide Risk Reduction: Ketamine and Other Approaches

This review (2015) examines the neurobiology of ketamine’s potential to treat suiciadility and proposes that its working mechanism functions via the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and by restoring tryptophan/serotonin production via inhibition of the kynurenine pathway. It notes that this hypothesis requires further validation via replicated randomised control research with larger samples.
