Sorry but I’m not sure I understand your answer. Will my deep depression continue to improve now that my Ketamine sessions have finished or will the improvements maximize today, my last session? Is today the best I can expect to feel or will there be greater benefit with the passage of time? Thanks

Brief Answer:
You will see greater benefits with time.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

There will be greater benefits with the passage of time. But keep one thing in mind that Ketamine therapy doesn’t result in permanent remission.

Maintenance doses are needed in order to maintain remission and symptoms free interval.

Thanks

I hope this helps, still have more uncleared things please ask again.
