Back from the Abyss: Psychiatry in Stories
Ketamine-- Lessons from 3000 Sessions
Show Notes

Some of the most basic questions about ketamine are still under investigation— Which patients are ideal responders? What is the therapeutic dose range? Is there a meaningful dose/response curve? Are fully dissociative treatments necessary for optimal efficacy? How important is psychotherapy after a higher dose IV or IM session?  And how should we think about frequency of initial treatments and then ongoing maintenance treatments, if needed?

Here Dr. H synthesizes and summarizes his experience over the last 6 years doing over 3000 IV and IM ketamine treatments and addresses each of these critical treatment dilemmas.
