Using Ketamine To Treat Depression
June 5th| 11:00am EDT | Using Ketamine To Treat Depression
Ketamine is a psychedelic drug with a complicated history. While it’s been used for decades as a surgical anesthetic, it has also been misused far too often as a dangerous recreational substance. Most recently, researchers have found a promising new application for ketamine: treatment of major depression and other mental health conditions.
So what should you know about the psychiatric use of ketamine and its prescription version known as esketamine? Why aren’t they considered first-option treatments for depression? And how safe are outpatient ketamine clinics?
Understanding Antisocial Personality Disorder
June 11th| 1:00pm EDT | Mindspring Mental Health Alliance
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is a complex mental health condition marked by persistent disregard for others, impulsivity, and a lack of empathy. People with ASPD may ignore laws or social norms, potentially putting themselves and other people in harm’s way. Discuss how it’s diagnosed, the challenges of managing ASPD, and the impact it can have on relationships and society in this one-hour seminar sponsored by Polk County, Iowa.
