I am not sure if I have a Treatment Resistant Depression, but I sure have been on multiple SSRIS for the last 10 years.

I honestly don’t feel any of them have “really worked” besides being numb.

I want to stop taking them eventually, wondering if Ketamine would open me in therapy and make it more meaningful/impacting.

I’m a really anxious person, so the thought of trying Ket or psychedelics always gets me nervous, like permanently making my anxiety worse or wake up some schizophrenia (I have no signs, nor I have relatives)

I know that attentiveness and dopamine regulation won’t improve with ket, but has anyone else been able to treat the depression and anxiety that comes with ADHD?

    I am doing Ketamine therapy for treatment resistant depression and SI. It worked miracles for the SI, that’s almost completely gone. For depression it helps a lot, but that’s not going to just go away. If nothing else has helped, I would recommend it. Seriously talk with a real psychiatrist first. They do want you to dissociate though, but it’s a pretty harmless feeling for me. I wouldn’t have anxiety about it, it’s not going to completely rewrite your psyche lol.
