I have a friend who took it for depression and it worked very well! She also has chronic back pain that continued after surgery. The ketamine provided significant relief of her back pain. She was able to walk without a cane while taking it. I hope they do studies on pain relief as well!

It's true. Had 4 treatments. Definitely more social enjoyment, less anxiety, and no more suicidal urges.

This is good news for many people like me who suffer(ed) from social anxiety and would avoid certain social situations despite wanting to be able to function in those settings.

Love this news! The changing colors and font sizes in the subtitles made it hard for me to focus on the video though.

I had 7 treatments and it was well worth it.

This is the least surprising bit of research news I've heard in a while!

Aspd and npd can benefit greatly from this. It is really hope invoking because there is literally no effective treatment procedures that can have an effect to this extent for cluster b.

This is great but I wish it was available in my city.

Dr. Tracey, do you have the link to the study?

[harrison]

This treatment messed me up. I got through all of the treatments, but it didn't help. Perhaps I've just been eternally unlucky.

this could cure my depression permanently ( im ok rn im not in andepressive episode, been out of it for abt a month now for the first time since ive been depressed 2 years ago :3 ) but ive bpd, and i have very big emotions so could this be bad? bc if it makes me have more empathy then i’ll just spend all my day crying abt the little bad stuff that hurts my loved ones or abt how sumn someone said makes me happy

Sadly Ketamine is very expensive.. For the privileged class.. Not for average Military veterans living in their car..
