New treatment(Psilocybin, Ketamine etc) for depression in LOS

[thecyclist]

Are there any clinics, hospitals in Thailand that make these drugs/treatments available to patients suffering from depression /anxiety in Thailand?

Several studies have shown that psychedelics can bring an immediate and significant improvement in these conditions, in marked contrast to the SSRI ,which take time to work, if they work at all , and which you have to take indefinitely. 

Even in the west they are still kind of experimental, but more and more psychiatrists are coming around, and see these drugs as the future. 

As the cannabis legalization has shown, sometimes Thailand is at the forefront of novel approaches.

It all about what you want to believe or not. Strong beliefs can move mountains, still there is some evidences that might leads someone to believe there is wonderdrugs solving all their problems.

 

Well, studies shows at temporary positive results

Sort of ,one step forward, two steps back.

I enjoyed the 2 years of the forward step.

With the Shinawatras, of course, it's always back ,at least in the fun department.

Nothing  other than death, is solving all your problems. 

A strong placebo effect is present in all psychiatric treatment. Randomized double blind trials would be needed to sort out how much of it is Placebo.
