I Was Paralyzed by Severe Depression. Then Came Ketamine.
Zoe Boyer writes about her lifelong struggle with depression: “Over the years I tried every available treatment. I stayed in psychiatric hospitals, underwent years of therapy and tried a pharmacy’s worth of antidepressants, but my condition never improved. One day, I stumbled across an article on the use of ketamine as a promising treatment for severe, unresponsive depression.” After four sessions, everything changed. “When my brother got his first pair of glasses, he marveled that he could see individual leaves on trees. Ketamine felt a lot like that. To be in awe of simple pleasures felt like reason enough to live, and I was overcome with a quiet revelation: this is what it means to be content.” Zoe’s story is similar to many who have had life changing experiences with Ketamine. We see it every day at our Cedar Psychiatry clinics. This video shares the stories of just a few of the thousands of patients we’ve treated.
