Oxytocin nasal spray for suicidal thoughts and feelings of dehumanization
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hormone called oxytocin (given as a nasal spray) can reduce feelings of being less than human and lower suicide risk. Researchers want to see if oxytocin helps people who feel dehumanized and have suicidal thoughts.
