In this video, Dr. Tracey Marks provides an update on ketamine's use in treating depression, focusing on its mechanism as an NMDA receptor antagonist and role in neuroplasticity. She discusses the FDA approval of Spravato, a ketamine nasal spray, and compares its effectiveness with quetiapine. The video also explores the emerging role of ketamine injections and the continued success of intravenous ketamine, highlighting their potential in mental health treatment, especially for treatment-resistant depression.

Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)
In today’s video, I talk about medications that are commonly prescribed to people with dementia even though they can be extremely dangerous. These medications have something called a Black Box warning meaning that the FDA has determined that these medications have high rate of serious negative side effects. If someone with dementia has some "difficult" behaviors, it is not unusual for one of these medications to be prescribed. You can learn more about these medications and their side effects in this video so you can be more informed when you talk to your loved one's doctor.
Here's a link to my behavior playlist that goes over all the non-medication ways to respond to difficult dementia behavior. Even if someone with dementia is prescribed a medication for behavior, you will want to consider using these approaches as well: https://youtube.com/playlist?l....ist=PL98pUDsDskLfN_h

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.

I Noah Thomas, the creator of this channel, have been diagnosed hypogonadism by a medical doctor and legally prescribed the medically indicated treatment of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
My Story
My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a medication called VIVITROL and consequently, spiraled into a suicidal depression with depersonalization and anxiety. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who, along with many siblings and friends, had to watch me 24/7 as I was a danger to myself. Eventually I was hospitalized in the Psych Ward for a week. Getting through each day seemed truly unbearable and I knew I would surely die. I have been put on many many different doctor prescribed SSRI's SNRI's Tricyclics, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, holistic meds, acupuncture and even a form of shock therapy called RTMS. I barely saw any improvement in my condition for a full year. It was decided I had treatment resistant depression and I spent nearly every moment in tears. Weeks after starting my newest round of medications (Seroquel & Nortryptaline) as a last ditch effort, I had my blood drawn for possible hormone imbalances and my Testosterone levels came back 200 ng/Dl and 150 ng/Dl. The average 25 year old male has 750 ng/Dl. With this discovery I had an explanation as to why I was not getting better and why I might be so so sick. The symptoms of Low T are very similar to those of major depression. I started legally prescribed testosterone replacement therapy soon after and have been checking in with the world and documenting my experience with treatment as well as giving my insight and perspective on various topics of mental health. I am blessed to say that I have slowly, over the last 6 years, been improving and becoming more stable which I never thought to be possible. My low T manifested itself in the form of Major depression, anxiety, and depersonalization/ derealization for over a year. Treating my low testosterone has been 1 HUGE part of the puzzle but I have had to continue to work hard to hold on to my mental stability with many set backs. Gaining some mental stability back is nothing short of a miracle as I was near death for what felt like forever. I do not consider myself to be totally healed yet but I am closer now then ever before and aim to use what I have been through to help or at least offer support to others in need I was able to successfully come off my Seroquel and Pamelor.
I work out all the time as a part of my mental health recovery!!! Weight training and all kinds of cardio rule much of my free time and I also share this on my channel.

Quetiapine offers some benefits over other dopamine blocking medications. It has a much lower risk for EPS and a broad spectrum of effects. The main limitations are weight gain, sedation, and orthostasis. The extended-release formulation offers a once nightly dosing that can reduce daytime sedation.

Seroquel contains the active ingredient quetiapine, which is an atypical antipsychotic.
Seroquel is used to treat schizophrenia and control episodes on mania and depression in people with manic depression. Seroquel may also be used as an add-on treatment to treat major depressive disorder when antidepressants alone have not been effective.

Does Seroquel, the antipsychotic medication, cause loss of speech? Maybe. It should only be used if nothing else works. So my first question is, why is this person on Seroquel? Antipsychotics are for if someone is delusional or paranoid or aggressive or has these repetitive thoughts that are really scary like their husband is cheating on them, that their food is poisoned.
If you're miserable during the day, or you're really angry due to delusions and those sorts of things, then it can be helpful.
But the Seroquel, the Zyprexa or Olanzapine, the Risperdal, the Geodon, the Abilify all have a 2% increase in stroke risk and a 1% increase in sudden death risk.
They also make your heartbeat pattern longer, and so if used with some other medications that also do that it can be dangerous. So, if a loss of speech, that makes me worry that this person might have had a little stroke. And the thing is, a stroke could be someone all of a sudden just can't sign their name, or they all of a sudden don't remember who their caregiver of five years is, or that they can't speak or they can't swallow. So that's a small stroke.
And you do need to get a CAT scan. You do need to think about increasing the blood thinner, but you definitely want to get that checked into.

If this is the first time you watch my videos, I am Dr Liz and I am a board-certified geriatric specialist. Over the years I have worked with thousands of families from all over the country to help elders through the aging process. Families are typically in crisis and don’t know where to turn when loved ones have dementia, Alzheimer’s, medication problems, or any complications from aging. I feel we must take away medications that “zombify” our elders and adjust meds to get our loved ones back to the happy, productive people they once were. Do you have questions or concerns? Don’t panic. Dr Liz Geriatrics is your resource for everything and anything you need to know about aging. I am so glad you stopped by and remember we are here to help.
