Ketamine Treatments: Purely Biological? or Something More Holistic?

Ketamine Insights

*We do not give medical advice* Explore the two major models of ketamine treatment for mental illness: 1) The strictly medical model, which treats ketamine as a chemical that can fix a patient's biological illness; and 2) the more holistic model, which emphasizes psychological growth and sees value in the altered mind-states that ketamine can cause. We discuss how best to think about a patient's role throughout their treatment. Is it most helpful to see a patient as a passive recipient of care? Or is it more accurate to see them as active participants? What would it mean to see a patient as their own primary healer? Co-hosts Lynn and Molly also discuss the role of shame, isolation, friendship, and community in the healing process.
