PTSD, Depression & Ketamine: Are We Making the Right Choice?
Preventing mental health symptoms could be a dream, but could it remove parts of us we didn’t know we wanted to keep?
You wake up in the morning feeling like any other day.
You walk to the kitchen with blurred vision and yawning. You flip on the espresso maker as you listen to the familiar sounds of liquid pouring into your ceramic coffee mug.
The apartment is filled with the smell of a strong roast, and somehow, this coaxes your eyes to become fully alert because caffeine is joyous. As you feel the soft, furry presence of your pet, you begin taking steps toward the bathroom, before halting in your tracks.
You realize you have been moving in autopilot, headed for the medicine cabinet where all solutions for your feeling of hopelessness lie, pretty and blue, and screaming for you to finally end the madness in your mind. Depression knows you better than a lover or friend, pulling you in with its sweet song of sadness.
Now imagine if this was curable. Imagine if instead of seeking treatment for depression, you have access to a vaccine or a cure.
