Anti-Suicide Nasal Spray


I thought I was the only person experiencing thoughts of suicide and depression, but then I found out that every day a U.S. soldier commits suicide. In fact, the Army's suicide rate is at the highest level in history, with more American soldiers taking their own lives than being killed by the Taliban. The Pentagon reported in June that suicides among soldiers averaged one per day this year, surpassing the rate of combat fatalities. 

The U.S. Military has put $3 million into the research and development of an Anti-Suicide Nasal Spray, in order to try and dramatically reduce the number of soldiers committing suicide. The drug has almost immediate effect and has been in existence for over thirty years...



“We’ve known since the 1970s that TRH has antidepressant effects, and it works quite rapidly,” Kubek told The Daily. “The bottom-line problem has been figuring out how to get it into the brain.”


"You may be asking, “Why haven’t doctors been using this kind of drug to treat depression for years?” The problem is the delivery system. TRH isn’t effective when taken in pill form or by blood injection. Right now, the only way to administer it is with an injection directly into the spine. That’s why they want to develop a new delivery system." -says www.mashable.com


At present anti-suicidal/ani-depressant medication can take weeks to come into effect. But, this nasal spray would take immediate effect. Personally, I'm kind of worried about the time it takes for ani-depressant medication to take effect, considering I haven't even started mine yet. If this ani-suicide nasal spray was available on the market today, I would be one of the first people in line to purchase it. But until then I can only pray for God's help to rid my system of these suicidal thoughts and depression.
