From MilitaryTimes: “Ahead of his remarks at the AMVETS national convention on Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced he has instructed Veterans Affairs officials to make a massive purchase of the antidepressant Spravato in an effort to stem veterans suicide.

The president said the drug — developed by a subsidiary of the pharmaceutical firm Johnson & Johnson — has shown a ‘tremendously positive’ effect in early testing and he is optimistic it can help with mental health problems in the veterans community. VA research shows that nationwide, about 20 veterans a day die by suicide.
