Why I Built Ketalux
A personal account from the publisher of Ketalux, with the standing disclosure that accompanies it.
This page has been written and edited by the publisher. It has not been reviewed by a licensed clinician.
This page is one person's account of their own treatment. It is not clinical evidence, and it is not a recommendation. Responses to ketamine therapy vary widely between individuals, and many people do not respond. Nothing on this page should inform an individual treatment decision. That conversation belongs with a licensed clinician who knows the person's medical history.
