Title: Ketamine: The Treatment That Stops Depression in Hours

Description: Can a drug stop suicidal thoughts in just a few hours? According to Dr. Yoav Domany, the answer might be yes.

In this episode, we explore the "Ketamine Promise" a revolution in psychiatry that moves beyond daily pills and into the realm of rapid neuroplasticity. Dr. Domany explains how Ketamine doesn't just treat symptoms; it helps the brain physically grow new connections, allowing patients to "evolve" out of their depression.

We also discuss the fascinating technology of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)—including the incredible story of a patient whose depression was cured by a battery-operated implant (and what happened when that battery died).

In this episode, you will learn:

The "Suicide" Breakthrough: How Ketamine can rapidly reverse suicidal ideation in emergency rooms.

Neuroplasticity Explained: Why the brain needs to "grow" to heal, and how psychedelics trigger this process.

The Battery Story: A real-world case study of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS).

The Future of Psychiatry: Why the era of "take two pills and see me in a month" is ending.

About the Guest: Dr. Yoav Domany is a psychiatrist and expert in advanced mental health treatments, including Ketamine, Spravato, and Vagus Nerve Stimulation. He leads the Advanced Mental Health Treatment Center at Sheba Medical Center and lectures at Tel Aviv University.
