    I’ve been seeing depression ads on my fb, I know, shocker! It’s advertising basically going to a hospital to do drugs under supervision. The concept is blowing my mind but I guess medicine is responsible for most drugs on the market. Very blurred line. Idk how long this has been a thing but insurance covers it. It’s for antidepressant resistant people.
    I mean, I guess it’s working for people. I can’t see myself taking it and not for moral high ground. I just don’t know who has the time with a full time job. You’re not supposed to do anything after and you have to be driven home. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Psilocybin?? Asking for a friend?

    Ketamine
    Someone said they are researching
    mushrooms

    Yes. It’s a fantasy of mine to anonymously give away significant money. I grew up with a ton of people trying to explain to me why it’s bad to give poor people* money and just one preacher who told me “give to everyone who asks.” You can guess what side I landed on.

    * in spite of the fact that by nearly every marker we were pretty poor ourselves

    What if treatment resistant depression is actually a symptom of another condition that hasn’t been diagnosed. Then you’re trying to treat a symptom without treating (or understanding) the underlying cause.

    Giving stuff always is such a good feeling. My parents always taught us to give and be generous. I in turn have taught my boy to do so and the first time he gave something to a homeless man on the street he said to me it felt really nice.
    If you won something crazy like the Powerball I kinda think you'd have to give some, a lot, away cause it's just too much to deal with and process. It'll get you super good karma too

    Ketamine
    Someone said they are researching
    mushrooms

    YES microdosing psilocybin or single dose of ketamine is supposed to be like a brain reset

    there are these anecdotal stories of people receiving ketamine injections from paramedics when they were suicidal, and something about the ketamine treatment not only took away their suicidal ideations at the time but it lasted for months afterwards without anymore treatment

    i think it’s cool as hell

    From what I read the K treatments start off more frequent and you work down to once a week or every other week. I think at that point it’s kinda up in the air weather or not to continue treatment.
    In the one or two articles I read is that some people say they feel the positive effects after one dose but it really requires more to last. It should be paired with a traditional anti depressant and or cognitive therapy.
    It said it triggers the brain to open up new pathways that where lacking before. That paired with an (I assume) an ssri which helps serotonin, the K opens up new pathways for that serotonin or that’s what I understood.

    ALSO after I posted about this I got the same kind of ad but for magnetic pulses!? They can miss me with that one. I draw the line at magnets 🤣
