Rapid-Acting Treatments for Pediatric Depression and Suicidality: Where are We Now?

The field of rapid-acting treatments for depression and suicidality has grown considerably for adult treatment-resistant depression over the past 20 years. Despite increasing rates of pediatric depression and anxiety, and rising youth suicide rates, the evidence base for rapid-acting treatments for children and adolescents is only starting to form. In this webinar Dr. Dwyer will discuss the current data available for rapid-acting treatments in pediatric patients. She will identify the key questions that require more research and highlight ways that her team is working to address these knowledge gaps.
