In their own words.

After three antidepressants over five years, I had stopped expecting anything to work. Spravato was different from session one. By week three I felt like I had room to breathe again — and the people at PMC made it feel safe the whole way.

My depression had a weight I couldn't put down. Ketamine didn't take the weight away on its own — but for the first time, I felt strong enough to carry it. That changed everything else I was doing.

The hyperarousal had me on a hair-trigger for years. After the third infusion, the volume on it just dropped. I wasn't always scanning the room. I could be in a conversation again.

Two decades of nightmares — I'd accepted them as part of life. The ketamine sessions did something the talk therapy and SSRIs never quite could. I sleep through the night now. That's everything.

Panic attacks had narrowed my life down to almost nothing. After the induction phase, the attacks dropped from daily to rare. I drove on the highway again for the first time in two years.

OCD had run my life for fifteen years. Ketamine didn't make the loops disappear — but it gave me space to step out of them. For the first time, I felt ahead of it instead of behind it.

I came to PMC at one of the lowest points of my life. The team treated me with steady, real care from the first call. Spravato helped where nothing else had. I'm still here, still working, still here for my family.

Standard antidepressants always felt like a gamble with my bipolar. Spravato addressed the depressive episodes without setting off the other side. Dr. Rueda's caution made me trust the whole process.
