I think I was mildly depressed before the pandemic. As it grew- I encountered a more severe depression in lockdown. To make things worse- I lost my mother that year. Now, even more depressed, I experienced a feeling I had never had before: GRIEF.
There I was spiraling down into deeper hopelessness and despair. To make things worse, I had self-medicated with alcohol frequently. I had to do something- something had to give.
I looked into new therapies that I had heard about and I came across IV ketamine therapy in my research. I was skeptical but the positive reviews and articles convinced me to at least, try. I went to Advanced Wellness and Pain because there are three anesthesiologists running the clinic. I just felt better with this type of expertise available to me. I immediately felt better from the first IV ketamine treatment. By the time I finished my six treatments, my depression and grief were gone, my need to self-medicate with alcohol was relieved as well. Today, drinking does not affect my life. I didn’t expect this to happen.
My name is Doug and I am here to tell you my depression, and my grief- are gone. When I say gone, that is exactly what I mean.
I wish everyone who is suffering as I was could do IV ketamine therapy. These doctors are wonderful and created such a nurturing and healing atmosphere. The doctors were with me every step of the way of the treatment. They said to trust the process. I did, and I got my much-needed emotional work done. If I did not seek this therapy out- I don’t know where I would be. Wow-what a relief.
I guess that not everyone will have my fantastic results- but many many others have had fantastic results too. So, if you think you should try it- do it.
Thank you for letting me share this message with you. I wish you well.
