Founder’s Insight
Depression, for me, has been a very dark place. There have been times when I could do little beyond what was necessary for my children. People would suggest exercising or walking around the block, and I understood why, but sometimes even that felt beyond my capacity.
Medication sometimes eased my anxiety, but I didn’t find lasting relief from depression. Over time, I often felt emotionally numbed. That is my experience, and I know other people have different experiences with medication.
I found ketamine treatment helpful, and psychedelic-assisted experiences have also been significant in my healing. I want room for an honest conversation about those experiences, alongside the research and its limitations.
When you cannot see a way out, depression can be quietly terrifying. People deserve compassion, practical support and help finding possibilities they may not yet have explored.
