Summary

This study tests whether ketamine can rapidly lower severe suicide risk in young people aged 14 to 30 who have recently attempted suicide. Participants receive up to six infusions of ketamine or a placebo while in the hospital, plus weekly therapy sessions. The goal is to see if ketamine helps reduce suicidal thoughts faster and keeps patients engaged in long-term care.
