Hereditary depression has a cure?
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: Aug 23, 2021 | Replies (25)Comment receiving replies
I have been depressed for 45 years. I'm 68 years old. I have tried everything. And was told l would have to be on meds the rest of my life. Well it just about been that long.
But now l go to a Ketamine Clinic. I can tell you it is working. I on my 4th treatment and l all ready feel better. I am still taking meds. I'm not sure if l will ever come off the meds, but l don't care so long as l can get release from this terrible illness. Depressed runs on my family. I just can't go on in this hell anymore.

Wow! I’m glad you responded well to the Ketamine. I (also depressed) have tried just about everything in the book. According to a DNA test I had done, won’t respond to the usual SSRI’s or NSRI’s, so I did 2 or 3 Ketamine treatments. I didn’t really like it & it didn’t help me. I hoped it’d be much more.
You sound very much like myself. I have had 6 ketamine treatments and I feel like my depression is better but my anxiety level has increased. I plan to go over medications with provider to see if changes might help. My k treatments will end up being twice a week for four weeks and then I will start once per week for awhile. I am so hopeful that this will work with meds change. Depression sucks (sorry, best word I can think of). I am glad to hear it has helped you. Distractions do help at times. Good suggestion.

I’m with you, I’m 45, started with bipolar in 9th grade. I’ve been on almost everything (meds, ketamine, ECT) and nothing works. I prayed for healing and deliverance but I’d sure settle for anything that worked even if I had to take it the rest of my life.
