Realizing the Potential of Rapid-Acting Treatments for Depression: Key Clinical Evidence, Practical Considerations, and Best Practices for Individualized, Patient-Centered Care
Optimal management of depression begins with adequate screening and early introduction of appropriate therapy. However, monoaminergic antidepressant therapies, which are currently considered the standard of care, have several limitations, such as slow therapeutic response times, suboptimal efficacy and remission rates, and adverse effects that may impact patient adherence.
Recent research has focused on novel pathways involved in the etiology of depression, including glutamatergic and GABAergic modulation. For example, neuroactive steroids such as zuranolone act as positive allosteric modulators of the GABA-A receptor. In 2023, zuranolone became the first and only oral therapy to be approved for the treatment of postpartum depression. There have also been advances in glutamatergic antidepressants, with the approval of esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression in 2019 and for depression with acute suicidal ideation or behavior in 2020, as well as the approval of dextromethorphan-bupropion for the treatment of major depressive disorder in 2022.
In order to help clinicians remain abreast of the latest treatment options for depression, PeerView recently held a Candid Conversations & Clinical Consults educational symposium, featuring a panel of psychiatric–mental health nursing faculty. These depression experts paired compelling, real-world case scenarios with practice-changing evidence to illustrate how to integrate novel and emerging treatments for depression into clinical practice, including strategies to identify patients who may benefit from these treatments, and how to use shared decision-making to craft individualized treatment plans.
