The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Who is giving Ketamine to depressed people? It is an Anaesthetic drug, with analgesic properties. It causes a dissociative state and can cause vivid nightmares. Certainly inappropriate as a anti-depressant. It inactivates NMDA receptors, and releases noradrenalin stores (which it therefore depletes), but I don't see how that would be useful in depression.
Looking it up, I see they have done limited trials (the best evidence being only 18 people) that showed anti-depressant effects. That makes it a functionally untested treatment, with such limited and small scale testing, and Ketamine is a highly dangerous drug that has become associated with abuse and accidental death.

You are talking to an Anaesthetist. I have literally written tests about it, and use it every day of my life to Anaesthetise patients and for its analgesic properties.

"Ketamine is a medication mainly used for starting and maintaining anesthesia. It induces a trance-like state while providing pain relief, sedation, and memory loss. Other uses include for chronic pain, sedation in intensive care, and depression." -wikipedia

Hi! I have been receiving ketamine infusions for about 6 months now and I feel better than I have in many years. I have PMDD which presents itself as severe depression for 1/2 the month. I've tried every medication out there and none have worked. The infusions have been amazing for my overall well being. THey are not for the faint of heart, however, so now that I'm in the maintenance phase I plan to explore the lozenges or nasal. I haven't found them yet... Good luck!
