Ketamine Infusion Clinics: A Controversial Trend in Depression Treatment

I think we've got to quit trying to find answers in drugs. What a powerful thing god has done is to allow us to share the hope of the gospel with those who are lost, who don't know Jesus Christ.
Have you ever wondered about the latest trends in treating depression? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', hosts Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley take a hard look at the rising popularity of ketamine infusion clinics. These clinics offer a controversial treatment for depression and suicidal thoughts, using ketamine in ways not approved by the FDA. While ketamine is legally used as an anesthetic, its application in psychiatric care is raising eyebrows.
People pay hefty sums to receive ketamine infusions, reporting feelings of peace and connectedness. But is this truly a breakthrough or just another risky fad? Dr. Shaw and his co-hosts discuss the potential dangers and ethical concerns of this off-label use. They also emphasize the importance of faith-based approaches to battling depression, sharing the hope found in the Gospel. If you're curious about the intersection of modern medicine and spiritual guidance, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective.
