Ketamine therapy or ECT

2022-05-27 16:01:02
Suffering from Depression since i was 10. Things got out of hand when I was in college. Since then I've seen 5 psychiatrists. I don't feel connected to anything, like a blank slate, very difficult to cry even. Got diagnosed with diabetes few days ago. Physician told it might have been caused by my current medicines. I've been thinking of Ketamine therapy for some time now. Where in Delhi would that be available? Or should I go for ECT?

Hi, out of the two options, ECT is better than ketamine therapy. But let your psychiatrist take that call as he/she is your treating doctor.

Hello there, It can be tiresome to change Psychiatrists over time. At times medicines may surprise you with side effects. Alternate therapies include Psychotherapy with an experienced Psychiatrist. However, to answer your ques, ECT is better option than Ketamine therapy. Your treating Psychiatrist is the best person to take that call.
