The Consultation Lyrics

Wow, that's a lot to deal with. I'm really sorry that you're going through this

It's okay, I've been dealing with this for a really long time

Um, I just do what I can to try to get through each day, you know

Some days are worse than others

I see that you've tried numerous antidepressants

A couple of anti anxiety medications, a couple of bipolar medications

And even an antipsychotic medication, did any of those work for you

Um, a lot of them didn't do what they were supposed to do

Right now I'm on some things that, that help but I'm

I'm starting to feel like they don't do their job anymore

And, I need, I need more help than what these medicines are doing

I feel like I've tried everything, so now I'm here

Well you've come to the right spot, I think we can help you

Ketamine treatments are still kind of experimental

As a mental health treatment

But have A 70% success rate of completely curing depression

For those it doesn't completely cure it drastically reduces the effects of it

How does that Sound to you

Oh wow that, that sounds great, um

I'll have to admit, I'm a little skeptical

But um, I'm at the point where I'm willing to try Anything

What are the next steps, what do I gotta do

Okay so no drinking for at least 24 hours before the first treatment

And during the entire course of treatments

Okay, I think I can do that, I mean, it'll be kind of hard but um

It's definitely worth a shot, so how long does the uh course of treatments take

For best results we recommend three treatments a week for two weeks

Okay, two weeks no drinking, it'll be hard but I can do that

I mean, anything is worth it to not feel like I'm at the end of my rope

Please tell me more about this

Each treatment is about an hour and a half

But you'll need a little more time set aside for check in and check out

Okay that sounds good, let me just figure it out with work and we'll do this

What else do I need to know

Don't eat for two hours before you come in, we don't want you to get sick

Okay, I can do that, um, can you tell me what the experience is like

Like what should I expect when the treatment starts

It's disassociation, which is similar to having an outer body experience

What like hypnosis

It's like having a very vivid dream or in some people causes hallucinations

Oh wow I didn't know that, I thought they used it

To put you to sleep like for surgery or something

Man that sounds intense

Yeah we start out with a certain dose

According to your height and body weight and go up as needed per treatment

So if the first treatment doesn't quite give you the "outer body" experience

On the next treatment we will up the dosage and go from there

Okay that makes sense, um, so what else do I need to know

You'll be pretty out of it when you leave

So you will need someone you trust to give you a ride home after each treatment

Okay, I think I can work that out

Um, I probably just need like to schedule this whole thing a couple weeks out

So I can set it up with work and figure out my ride situation

But yeah, let's move forward, let's do this

Okay great let's get you scheduled at the front counter

And we'll see you in a couple of weeks for your first appointment

I really think this is going to help you a lot Michael

Okay, sounds good, thank you, I really appreciate this
