Ketamine for resistant MDD

Published

Specializes in L&D, Women's Health.

My specialty is not psych! But I have been reading research in this area as I have an adult son on disability due to treatment-resistant MDD. He was diagnosed with MDD at age six and has been on so many ineffective medications that he gave up on them years ago. We tried TMS but he experienced a painful side effect and had to stop. He refuses EST.

Do any of you have experience with psychiatrists using ketamine? If so, I've a ton of questions. Thanks!
