Treatment for Anxiety and Depression
Donation protected
Hi loves, Shani here.
I recently discovered I qualify for ketamine infusion treatments to treat severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. My mental health is not something I often speak about publicly. I’m a private sort of person in that regard.
So, in an attempt to be open and candid, I’ll discuss some of my story. Starting at a young age, maybe 11 or 12, I’ve struggled with severe depression and anxiety. I’ve also been diagnosed with PTSD, which I will not be getting into. I’ve been to countless psychologists and psychiatrists. I’ve tried countless medications, none of which helped my depression and very few have helped with my anxiety. Nothing has worked long term. I’ve been hospitalized twice, both from suicide attempts, the last time being last summer. I feel like I’m drowning nearly every day.
Ketamine treatments have a 70% success rate and only require 6 treatments, once a week. Unfortunately it’s a private company and will not be covered by my insurance (my insurance offered through my job sucks regardless, I’m still paying off debt from being in UW Psychiatric last summer). Each treatment is $250.
I really need help managing my mental health and I have felt for a long time that I’m running out of options. I will try anything to feel better and I’ve heard great things about ketamine infusions.
If you are able to help at all, I’d be forever grateful. Thank you for your consideration, time, love, friendship. I want to be healthy. I want the freedom of mental health. I need to feel better, by any means necessary.
Love,
Shani
