Antidepressants are nothing raw , but the U.S. Army is looking into a new room to deliver them . That ’s why they gave the University of Indiana $ 3 million to work onan anti - suicide nasal bone nebulizer .
The active constituent here is something call thyrotropin - releasing hormone ( TRH ) , and it ’s already show promise in preclude suicides . The job is figuring out how to get the stuff into the brain . thyrotropin-releasing hormone is able-bodied to help with self-destructive urge , Great Depression , and bipolar disorder , but as of now , the only effective fashion to care for people with it is by spinal tap . Nobody wants a spinal pat , specially citizenry who are low-spirited and suicidal .
Because of late breakthrough in nanoparticle bringing organization , the nose might be a executable entry dot , which is why the Army has offered the financial backing ( a pittance by military standards ) to Indiana ’s Dr. Michael Kubek to try on and aid the procedure along . If the spray works , it would be the most commodious and fast - acting antidepressant drug delivery mechanism out there .

Medical director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness , Dr. Ken Duckworth , find out hope in the conception . He enjoin The Daily :
“ This is a glorious idea . It would work one of the biggest problem we have with medication used today . It might work , but it does n’t influence tight enough . … The nasal bone atomizer would stabilize them in good order aside , while they wait for the [ antidepressants ] to do their problem . ”
