When researching treatment options, my friend made this super helpful google sheet comparing different treatment providers in detail . He shared it with me and told me I was free to share it with others. It's been updated along the way, so it should be up to date now. He did some pretty deep research on these options in my opinion, but it probably doesn't include every single option out there though. I'm thinking this is a helpful place to share it so people can get an idea of what the treatment entails. He went with the first option in the sheet and was rather happy with it, but clearly said that Ketamine is NOT a miracle drug. More on reddit.com

I'm so glad to hear about your positive experience with ketamine therapy! It's great to see how it's helping you find relief and make meaningful progress.

The biggest difference that ketamine therapy has made might sound trivial, but it's absolutely not. For many years, my identity had become fused with the depression. We were one and the same. What the depression said, went. When I was beginning my inpatient ketamine treatment, my doctor astutely commented that we needed to find a way to 'disentangle' things. And that is what I have been doing for the last 16 months. The space ketamine has given me has allowed me to build a life again, free of the depression that had its hooks deep into me. Practically speaking, I have more energy. I haven't had any major depressive episodes, not even in the depths of winter. I had one dip due to some physical health stuff triggering me but it was just that, a temporary dip. I'm off three of my meds with plans to taper down the final two. My anxiety is practically gone. I like myself and have compassion towards myself in a way that I never could before. I'm planning a return to work after 10 years off. There's so much more but these are the highlights.
