Following Her Lead: A Partner's Perspective on Ketamine and Mental Illness

We demystify mental health and psychedelic medicine. Our episodes give practical insights from experienced patients, helping everyone better understand depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychedelic medicine. From the practical (like a guide to accessing therapeutic ketamine), to the profound (like spiritual awakenings brought on by psychedelics), we share patient-centered knowledge to help people and their families better understand the psychedelic landscape today. Co-hosts Molly Dunn and Lynn Schneider are old friends who usually live on opposite sides of the world. Molly, a disabled writer from Chicago with treatment resistant depression and other chronic illnesses, has been a ketamine patient for several years. Lynn, our resident genius empath, is a longtime friend, relative, and ally of people who struggle with mental health challenges. Together, we fight stigma, go on tangents, and crack each other up. We are not trained mental health experts. We provide context to help you do your own research.&nbsp; Hit us up at ketamineinsights@gmail.com and https://ketamineinsights.com/ and @ketamineinsights on Instagram.&nbsp; ~~If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, please get help. In the US, dial 988. You are never all alone.~~ Remember to advocate for yourself, and never ration your joy.
