Residual Depressive Symptoms in Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Depression Following Short-Term Ketamine Administration

This observational post hoc analysis indicates that the most frequently observed residual depressive symptoms were low mood, altered view of future, sleep disturbances, and low energy levels. This study should be treated with caution as causality does not apply, however, it reports on a real-world population of subjects with treatment-resistant bipolar depression. Establishing standardized definitions for residual symptoms could enhance the quality and comparability of future research in this area.
