What if a depression treatment worked in hours, not weeks? I joined Dennis Charney and Adriana Feder for @MountSinaiNYC's Vitals on how ketamine went from anesthetic to rapid-acting treatment for depression. @IcahnMountSinai @MountSinaiPsych @SinaiBrain mountsinai.org/about/newsroom…

Very timely article! I sometimes wonder: do any of my patients not engage with apps or other digital technology in their journey to relieve suffering and enhance wellness?

Wellness app or digital therapeutic? Your patients may not know the difference, but your treatment plan should.

Dr. Sagar Parikh (University of Michigan) walks through a new consensus panel paper in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry that covers:

→ What separates a digital therapeutic from a wellness app
→ Four consensus statements to guide use in everyday practice
→ Where digital therapeutics fit within stepped care for MDD
→ Practical guidance for bringing these tools into your clinic

Older adults with #depression and MCI are often left out of #ketamine trials. In our pilot (n=13) in AJGP, one infusion was well tolerated and depression scores fell sharply at 24h. Small and open-label, but worth a real trial. Congrats Rachel Fremont! doi.org/10.1016/j.jagp…
