Article Review:US Designing Anti Suicide Spray
According to the record, 116 US soldiers have died in committing suicide in 2012, and the US army currently has the highest rate of suicide in its history.It really makes sense that the military would be searching a way to keep their soldiers from committing suicide.
The spray is developed by a scientist from Indiana University, Dr. Michael Kubek was awarded $3 million for creating the spray.
The spray would suppress the thought of committing suicide.The spray will deliver an extra dose of “thyrotropin-releasing hormone” (TRH), which causes a “calming, euphoric, antidepressant effect” in other word “Happiness”.TRH has been used in the past to treat some depression and depressive disorders. Quick-acting effect of the chemical and fairly direct delivery system, the drug might be able to literally stop people from committing suicide right on the spot.
You may be thinking, “Why didn’t doctors use this kind of drug to treat depression disorder for all these years?” The problem lies within the body delivery system, TRH is not very effective when it is taken in pill form or by blood injection. Currently the only way to make is effective is with an injection directly into the spine. This is why they are developing a new way to reach the delivery system.
