Infusion therapy for Stella

Donation protected
Hi, I’m Stella. I’ve been struggling with major depressive disorder for my entire adult life, and I’ve been on various antidepressants and therapy regimens for over a decade. Recently I received the unfortunate diagnosis of treatment-resistant depression. This means that despite my efforts, traditional pharmaceutical methods have proven ineffective at reducing my symptoms. This leaves me with few options for relief, but one option has proven effective for others with TRD: ketamine infusion therapy.

My insurance won’t cover this treatment, and it’s prohibitively expensive in my current situation. I’m asking for help in raising the funds for a full treatment regimen. Most local clinic fees are around the goal amount at about $525 per infusion and 10 infusions ($5250 total). There are less expensive options, but those are usually at-home and supervised virtually, which I’m not comfortable with. I want to make sure I’m getting the most effective treatment possible.

Your help with this is greatly appreciated, and may improve my health and welfare in a really meaningful way.
