Ketamine treatment experiences?
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

October 21, 2022Controversial opinion: We as clinician should be more skeptical of ketamine
To be honest ketamine is so outside of my scope of practice I don’t feel comfortable supporting/not supporting it. If a client had a question regarding this, I would recommend they discuss this with a medical professional such as a psychiatrist or primary care physician. More on reddit.com
