Is there an intravenous medication for treating anxiety and depression?

Generally, intravenous medications are available for the treatment of anxiety and depression, but these drugs must be used strictly under medical supervision. The detailed explanation is as follows:

In treating anxiety and depression, intravenous medication is often considered when patients have difficulty taking oral medications, poor gastrointestinal absorption, or an acute worsening of symptoms. During acute phases, some patients may experience impaired swallowing function or gastrointestinal absorption issues that reduce the effectiveness of oral drugs. Intravenous administration delivers medication directly into the bloodstream, rapidly increasing blood drug concentration and effectively alleviating severe symptoms such as intense anxiety and profound low mood. Additionally, when patients suffer significant physical discomfort—such as severe insomnia or palpitations—IV therapy can more quickly stabilize their physical condition, laying the foundation for further treatment.

Intravenous treatment must be strictly administered according to medical instructions by qualified healthcare professionals. Before treatment, a patient’s history of drug allergies must be confirmed to prevent adverse reactions. Vital signs should be closely monitored during infusion; any discomfort such as rash, palpitations, or dizziness should be reported immediately to medical staff. After treatment, strenuous activity should be avoided, and patients should remain under observation for a period to ensure no complications arise. Intravenous therapy is only a short-term intervention and should be integrated into an overall treatment plan tailored to the individual's condition. It should not be requested or discontinued arbitrarily by the patient.
