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.
