Summary

This study looks at whether a single dose of ketamine, given through an IV, can quickly reduce suicidal thoughts in adults who are already in the hospital for medical reasons and have been referred for psychiatric help. Researchers also want to see if adding a computer-based training program can make these effects last longer. The goal is to find a faster, more accessible way to help people in crisis.
