Can Ketamine be the ultimate antidepressant?  Acclaimed actor and musician Gina Gershon joins us on Plantscendence to talk about her seven-year journey with ketamine therapy. She shares candidly about her lifelong struggle with depression, her many failed attempts at treating it with prescription medication, and the transformative impact that ketamine therapy had on her life and well-being once she discovered it. She describes in detail the feelings and sensations involved, and the profound impact that therapeutic ketamine has had on her creativity – both as a performer and as a painter, a passion that ketamine helped birth. Gina and Jon, long-time friends, reflect together on the ways that psychedelics have helped them both manage social anxiety, negative self-talk, and repetitive thinking.
