Therapy group following a Ketamine treatment – a case report of a patient with resistant depression
European Psychiatry June 1, 2022 H. Yaniv, V. Savlev
A 44-year-old man with longstanding major depressive disorder who had not improved after multiple medications showed clinical improvement after six months of Esketamine treatment combined with a 30-minute therapy group held after each session. He reported a positive mood, fewer thoughts of death, and better functioning at work and home. He attributed the improvement partly to the group, which provided a peer group and a place to process the treatment experience. Vignettes from the sessions illustrate these changes.
