The Impact of AMPA Receptor Blockade on Ketamine's Anti-Suicidal Effects

Inclusion Criteria: * Current depression as indicated by a score greater than 17 on the full Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17) AND current major depressive episode as determined by structured clinical interview (SCID-5) * Current suicidal ideation as indicated by a score ≥ 2 on the HDRS-17 Item #3 ("wishes to be dead (or any thoughts of possible death to self)") * Anti-depressant resistant depressive symptoms, defined by a history of failure of one or more adequate anti-depressant trials * Participants will meet DSM-5 Criteria for MDD, PTSD or Bipolar Disorder as determined by the SCID-5 * All participants given Ketamine must be engaged in mental health treatment outside of the research protocol. Those who are not receiving treatment with a mental health provider at the time of the phone screen may be referred for treatment and will have their admission to the protocol deferred until they are receiving treatment with a mental health provider for at least 4 weeks, at which time they may re-apply for admission to the protocol. * Individuals who are receiving pharmacotherapy for depression must have been receiving the current medication and dose for 4 weeks before randomization. Those who are not stable on their current medication and dose for 4 weeks at the time of the phone screen may have their admission to the protocol deferred until they are stable on their current psychopharmacotherapy. In addition, all individuals admitted to the protocol should have a plan to continue the current regime of pharmacotherapy for the duration of the trial. * Individuals who are receiving psychotherapy must have been in treatment for four weeks and should have a plan to continue the current regime of psychotherapy for the duration of the trial. Those who are not stable on their current regime of psychotherapy for 4 weeks at the time of the phone screen may have their admission to the protocol deferred until they are stable on their current regime of psychotherapy. * Willing to refrain from caffeine, drug, and alcohol use for one week prior to each Ketamine infusion * Females will be included if they are not pregnant or breastfeeding and agree to utilize a medically accepted birth control method (to include oral, injectable, or implant birth control, condom, diaphragm with spermicide, intrauterine device, tubal ligation, abstinence, or partner with vasectomy). Women who are surgically sterile or post-menopausal with cessation of menses for at least one year are not required to use birth control. If a woman should become pregnant during the study, she will be excluded from the trial. * Females will receive Ketamine during the follicular phase, i.e., in the first week after the start of the menstrual period, if at all possible. If a prospective participant typically has significant menstrual cramps during this entire follicular phase, she will be studied during another part of her cycle. She will be studied during the same part of her cycle for each scan, if possible. * Able to read and write English * Have at least a 12th grade education level or equivalent Exclusion Criteria: * A score on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale \[43\] in the "intent" or "intent with plan" categories within the last 3 months or judged by Dr. Krystal or Dr. Driesen to be at serious risk for suicide. * Psychiatric hospitalization in the past two months * Suicide attempt in the past two months * Neurological disorder excluding migraine headaches or mild head injury. More than mild head injury is indicated by the presence of any of the following: * More than half hour unconsciousness after trauma * More than one hour post-traumatic amnesia * Concussive symptoms such as headache, memory problems, nausea/vomiting, irritability, ringing in the ears, dizziness, balance problems, difficulty concentrating or visual disturbances lasting more than one week after injury. * Concussive symptoms as defined above in the first week after injury causing more than one day impairment in typical duties. * Four or more concussive events of less severity than the above will also be grounds for exclusion. These events would include post-trauma symptoms such as the individual being dazed, seeing stars, unconscious for less than one half hour, or post-traumatic amnesia of less than an hour. * Current therapeutic treatment with Ketamine * Previous trial of Ketamine without therapeutic benefit * Current treatment with topiramate, memantine, or barbiturates within two weeks of randomization * Daytime use of benzodiazepines * Current treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors within 4 weeks of randomization * Treatment with a vagal nerve stimulator, ECT or deep brain stimulation within two weeks of randomization * Psychosis other than psychotic experiences congruent with depressed mood during a period of depression. Individuals experiencing psychosis during the current depressive episode will be excluded. * Other major medical disorder unless cleared by a study physician * History of violence unless cleared by Dr. Driesen or Dr. Krystal because of extenuating circumstances. For example, an individual whose violent behavior was always coupled with substance abuse and had obtained stable sobriety with no violent incidents or an individual who had received successful pharmacotherapy for impulse control difficulties may be included. * Individual meets criteria for a diagnosis of substance or alcohol use disorder within the three months prior to screening date. Individuals who meet criteria for mild alcohol use disorder within three months prior to screening date may be included in the study at investigator discretion. The diagnosis of mild alcohol use disorder shall be per DSM-5 and involve 2-3 symptoms. The PI's discretion will be based on the symptoms that are reported and the judged consistency and accuracy of the subjects' self-report. * A positive on screening urine drug test or, at the study physicians' discretion, on any dr
