Ask Dr Jessica Episode 65 discussing the use of ketamine for treatment of depression, under the care of a psychiatrist.  In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of teenagers who are experiencing major depression.  Randomized trials have demonstrated that  ketamine (given through the IV) and  esketamine (the nasal form) can rapidly improve treatment-resistant depression, including suicidal ideation.   I think it is important to stay up to date on available therapy, because with this knowledge, you never know whose life you may impact for the better.

Dr Erin Amato is a practicing psychiatrist in Montana, and she has double board certification in general psychiatry and child  & adolescent psychiatry.  Passionate about holistic and integrative ways to treat mental health disorders,  she is  a fellow of the integrative psychiatry institute, and she has spoken on many media platforms, including many morning television shows.  She has been providing IV ketamine therapy for treatment of depression since 2016.  To learn more about Dr Amato, please look at her website or follow her on Instagram @erinamatomd.
