Title: Ketamine: The Treatment That Stops Depression in Hours

Description: Can a drug stop suicidal thoughts in just a few hours? According to Dr. Yoav Domany, the answer might be yes.

In this episode, we explore the "Ketamine Promise" a revolution in psychiatry that moves beyond daily pills and into the realm of rapid neuroplasticity. Dr. Domany explains how Ketamine doesn't just treat symptoms; it helps the brain physically grow new connections, allowing patients to "evolve" out of their depression.

We also discuss the fascinating technology of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)—including the incredible story of a patient whose depression was cured by a battery-operated implant (and what happened when that battery died).

In this episode, you will learn:

The "Suicide" Breakthrough: How Ketamine can rapidly reverse suicidal ideation in emergency rooms.
