Latest Depression Treatments
If your depression doesn't improve through psychotherapy and antidepressants new medications that work quickly may be able to treat treatment-resistant depression.
SSRIs which are also known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are the most frequently prescribed and well-known antidepressants. These work by changing how the brain processes serotonin as a chemical messenger.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you change negative thoughts and behaviors like hopelessness. It's available on the NHS for 8 to 16 sessions.
1. Esketamine
In March 2019 the FDA approved a brand new nasal spray for depression that is called esketamine. (Brand name Spravato). It is created from the anesthetic drug ketamine, which has been shown to be effective in cases of severe of depression. The nasal spray is utilized in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for depression that isn't responding to standard medication. In one study, 70% of people with treatment resistant depression who were given this drug were able to respond well, which is a significantly higher response rate than just taking an oral antidepressant.
Esketamine differs from standard antidepressants. It boosts the levels of naturally occurring chemicals in the brain, called neurotransmitters. They transmit messages between brain cells. The effects aren't immediate. Patients usually feel better within a few days, but the effects last longer than SSRIs and SNRIs.
Researchers believe that esketamine reduces symptoms of alcohol depression treatment by enhancing the connections between brain cells. In animal studies, esketamine reversed the breakdown of these connections which can occur in chronic stress and depression. It also appears to stimulate the growth of neurons that can help to reduce suicidal ideas and feelings.
Esketamine is distinct from other antidepressants due to the fact that it is delivered via nasal spray. This allows it to enter your bloodstream much faster than oral or pill medication. It has been demonstrated by studies to reduce depression symptoms within a couple of hours. In certain instances the effects can be instantaneous.
A recent study that tracked patients for 16 weeks revealed that not all patients who began treatment with esketamine had reached the remission phase. This is disappointing, but not surprising, according to Dr. Amit A. Anand an expert in ketamine who was not part of the study.
Esketamine is only available in clinical trials or in private practice. Esketamine isn't a first-line treatment for depression. It is prescribed when SSRIs and SNRIs don't be effective for a patient suffering from treatment-resistant depressive disorder. A doctor for a patient can determine if their condition is resistant to treatment and determine if it is possible to use esketamine for treatment.
2. TMS
TMS utilizes magnetic fields in order to stimulate brain nerve cells. It is noninvasive, does not require surgery or anesthesia and has been shown to improve depression in those who are not responding to psychotherapy or medication. It can also be used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and tinnitus.
TMS treatment for depression is usually delivered in a series of 36 daily treatments spread out over six weeks. The magnetic pulses may feel like pinpricks on the scalp. It could take some time to become used to. Patients can return to work or home following a treatment. Based on the stimulation pattern used the session TMS session lasts between 3.5 and 20 minutes.
Scientists believe that rTMS changes the way that neurons communicate. This process, known as neuroplasticity, allows the brain to form new connections and to alter its functions.
TMS is FDA approved to treat depression in situations that other treatments such as medications and talk therapy have not been successful. It has also proven to be effective in treating tinnitus and OCD. Scientists are also exploring the possibility of using it to treat Parkinson's and anxiety.
While a variety of studies have found that TMS can help with depression, not everyone who receives the treatment will experience a positive effect. It is essential to undergo a thorough psychiatric and medical examination prior to attempting this treatment. If you have a history of seizures or are taking certain medications, TMS might not be right for you.
If you have been suffering from depression and aren't getting the benefits from your current treatment plan, a chat with your psychiatrist might be beneficial. You could be eligible to participate in an TMS trial or other forms of neurostimulation. But, you must first try several antidepressants before your insurance will cover the cost.

3. Deep stimulation of the brain
A non-invasive treatment that resets the brain circuitry could be effective in just one week for people with treatment resistant depression. Researchers have developed new techniques that permit them to deliver high-dose magnetic impulses to the brain in a shorter period of time and at a frequency that is more suitable for patients.
Stanford neuromodulation therapy, which is currently available in the Advanced Psychiatric Therapeutics Clinic at the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences It uses MRI images to guide electrodes to deliver magnetic pulses to specific brain regions. In a recent study, Mitra and Raichle discovered that in three-quarters of patients with depression, the usual flow of neural activity from the anterior cingulate cortex to the anterior insula was interrupted. SNT returned that flow back to normal within a couple of days, coinciding perfectly with the easing of their depression.
A more in-depth procedure known as deep brain stimulation (DBS) can produce similar results for some patients. After several tests to determine the most appropriate location, neurosurgeons insert one or more wires, known as leads, into the brain. The leads are connected to the neurostimulator. It is inserted beneath the collarbone and looks like a pacemaker. The device is able to deliver an ongoing electric current through the leads. This alters the brain’s natural ways to treat depression circuitry, reducing depression symptoms.
Certain psychotherapy treatments can help relieve depression symptoms, such as cognitive behavior therapy and interpersonal therapy. Psychotherapy can be offered in one-on-one sessions with an expert in mental health, or in a group setting. Some therapists also offer Telehealth services.
Antidepressants remain the primarystay of treatment for depression. In recent times, however, there have been some notable improvements in how quickly they can alleviate depressive symptoms. Newer drugs, such as gepirone (Exxua), esketamine (Spravato), brexanolone (Zulresso) and dextromethorphan-bupropion (Auvelity), all have been shown to work faster than older antidepressants.
Other therapies, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ect treatment for depression and anxiety) or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) make use of magnetic or electric stimuli to stimulate the brain. These are more complicated procedures that require the supervision of a physician. In some instances they can trigger seizures or other serious side effects.
4. Light therapy
Bright light therapy, which is working or sitting in front of a bright artificial light source, has been known for a long time to treat major depressive disorder with seasonal patterns (SAD). Research has shown that it can alleviate symptoms like fatigue and sadness by regulating circadian rhythm patterns and boosting mood. It also aids those suffering from depression that is intermittent.
Light therapy mimics sunlight, which is a major component of a biological clock referred to as suprachiasmatic (SCN). The SCN is connected to mood and light therapy has the ability to rewire misaligned circadian rhythm patterns that can contribute to depression. In addition, light can lower melatonin levels, and restore the functioning of neurotransmitters.
Some doctors use light therapy to combat winter blues. This is a milder form of depression that is similar to SAD but has fewer people affected and occurs during the seasons when there is the least amount of daylight. They suggest sitting in the light therapy box each morning for 30 minutes while awake to gain the maximum benefit. Contrary to antidepressants, which may take weeks to begin working and often cause side effects like nausea or weight gain the light therapy method can deliver results in just one week. It is also safe for pregnant women and older adults.
Researchers advise against using light therapy without the supervision of a mental health professional or psychiatrist, because it may cause manic episodes in those who suffer from bipolar disorders. It could also make people feel tired in the first week of treatment because it can reset their sleep-wake patterns.
PCPs should be aware of new treatments approved by the FDA. However they shouldn't be ignoring tried-and-true methods like antidepressants or cognitive behavioral therapy. Dr. Hellerstein told Healio that while the search for newer and better treatments is exciting, we should prioritize the most proven treatments. He says PCPs must educate their patients on the benefits of new treatments and help them stick with their treatment plans. That can include providing them with transportation to their doctor's office or setting reminders to take medications and attend therapy sessions.
