No offence, but speculating about #Elon having a #Ketamine habit based off some posts on the ex-birdsite is just a form of wishful thinking showing the cognitive dissonance people are dealing with..

If we look at actual reality, Musk fits right in with the personality requirement of an industry tycoon: He’s narcissistic, has messianic complex, and can be void of empathy like a sociopath.

But people can’t admit we’ve built a system where this _IS_ the winning formula.

Does anyone have any experience with #ketamine for #fibromyalgia or other #chronicpain and/or #autoimmune disorders? I have several loved ones who suffer and am curious if you have had any relief?

Periodic reminder to get help for your mental health and help people around you.

I had my second session of intramuscular ketamine to treat major depressive disorder yesterday.

Ketamine is used to treat “treatment-resistant” (aka classic antidepressants don’t work or not well) MDD.

I’ve been getting it IV for many years and recently switched to IM. It’s been literally life-saving.

#Ketamine Shows Promise for Hard-to-Treat #Depression in New Study
Research this week presents the most robust evidence to date that ketamine is at least as effective as #electroconvulsivetherapy (#ECT) for patients with #treatmentresistant depression who do not have psychosis.

Any users here who have experience using low dose #Ketamine to treat #depression? I don't care if the intake was medically accompanied or "illegal".

#NotJustSad #SpecialK

Quite happy to share this latest work from our lab. In this study, we have addressed an important question of general importance: if and how brain medications (such as anti-depression drugs) change brain over time. We addressed this by specifically investigating the impact of an important drug, Ketamine.

In my country,#ketamine is illegal and both my therapist and me agree that besides depression i have undiagnosed #cptsd ,which is viewed by psychiatry here as a nonsense (exact translated word) diagnosis.i am now being bounced back and forth from the psychiatrists office an looming jailtime if i dont cooperate with the psychs,which sure helps the nonsense diagnosis.empathy overload,fuck this calvinist probationist medicine bullshit and this country.

🧠 Periodic reminder to get help for your mental health. I’m at my regular Ketamine infusion. If you’ve been unable to get it due to cost, they recently started to take some insurance, including Medicare! #mh #mentalhealth #ketamine #depression

The #history of psychedelics includes centuries of spiritual use, and as a mental health tool, prior to criminalization. From communing with the spirit in various religious paths, to the creation of #MDMA and #Ketamine for use in psychotherapy, it is not unrealistic for conscientious people to at least consider #psychedelics a path toward mental wellness.

After decades of prohibition, the science of #PsychedelicPsychotherapy is just resurfacing. It has a way to go, but has already helped many.
