Pt. 2: A Case Study in Choosing the Right Treatment for You
Description
Welcome to another episode of Psych Waves! This is part 2 of 3 in our treatment series! In our first episode, we talked about barriers and stigma to getting treatment. Now, lets imagine you have surpassed those barriers and are ready to tackle your depression....but you have no idea where to start or what to do. Your primary doctor gives you a name, such as the Anderson Clinic, and a phone number. You call the number and they ask, "what services are you looking for" as if you already know. Sometimes, we don't know where to start, and that's ok! The primary goal of a consult is to get to know each other and establish a treatment plan. In this episode, we look at a Case Study of two similar, but not identical treatments for Treatment Resistant Depression: Ketamine versus Spravato. Join Dr. A as she describes the similarities and differences of each and how patient and doctor can work together to get you feeling better again!
