Ketamine therapy or ECT
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.
