Podcast: Is Ketamine the Cure for Refractory Depression?

Please note that throughout this blog, we may refer to ketamine, esketamine, and Spravato relatively interchangeably. This is due to the inherent similarities in chemical makeup between ketamine and esketamine, and their similar effects on mental health conditions. In the event that this creates confusion, don't hesitate to reach out to Lumin Health staff to ask any questions about treatment at hello@lumin.health or by scheduling a free consultation.

I recently joined Dr. Kevin Ban on his Sick Health podcast. We discuss psychiatric interventions (like ECT and TMS) and ketamine therapy and esketamine therapy.  We talk about the science behind ketamine and esketamine and why these treatments offer new hope for treatment-resistant depression.  We also spend some time discussing the psychedelic nature of these treatments and how that can be a component of treatment.  Practically, talk about the logistics of care, such as navigating insurance coverage for esketamine treatments, what to expect from treatment, and more. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
