KETAMINE - New Hope For Depression, Chronic Pain, and PTSD

Finally, some new hope for people with CHRONIC PAIN and treatment-resistant DEPRESSION. These folks suffer, and standard treatment does not work for them. Ketamine is also bringing new hope for veterans, first responders, people with childhood sexual abuse, and many more. In this episode of The Missing Piece: Cracking Therapy’s Toughest Cases, host Heleen Woest speaks with David Kleiman, CRNA, founder and infusion provider at NW Ketamine Infusion. Together, they explore ketamine infusion therapy, its use in carefully screened patients, and why medical monitoring and coordinated care matter. The conversation offers an accessible introduction to intravenous (IV) ketamine, including how an infusion provider approaches safety, dosing, and expectations. It also distinguishes the medical infusion itself from the psychotherapy and integration work that may accompany treatment. Ketamine is not appropriate for everyone and is not a guaranteed or instant cure. A qualified medical provider must evaluate each patient’s individual risks and potential benefits. But there is some solid research that it sometimes works for treatment-resistant depression and PTSD when nothing else, not even electroshock therapy, has worked.
