Norwegian Rapid Acting Antidepressant Network

NORAAD

NORAAD (Norwegian Rapid Acting Antidepressant Network) is a national multidisciplinary network established in 2023 for healthcare professionals with an interest in rapid-acting antidepressant treatments (RAAD) and the implementation of novel rapid-acting treatments for depression and related disorders.

The network brings together psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, researchers and other healthcare professionals from across Norway to share clinical experience, develop common standards and coordinate research.

NORAAD has developed a clinical protocol for intravenous ketamine treatment for treatment-resistant depression.

NORAAD contributes to the national PreKet multicentre study, funded by KLINBEFORSK.

NORAAD hosts open online meetings on the last Friday of every month from 13:00–14:00 (CET) via Microsoft Teams. Healthcare professionals interested in participating are welcome to contact the secretariat to receive a meeting invitation.

Chair: Professor Ole A. Andreassen
