 Dr. Johnathan Edwards, a board-certified anesthesiologist with 25 years of experience, brings a powerful message about the therapeutic potential of ketamine for treating depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideation. In this podcast episode, Miesha Tate and Dr. Edwards discuss how ketamine can help rewire the brain and break people out of negative thought patterns.

Dr. Edwards emphasizes that ketamine works by disrupting the default mode network in the brain, which can get stuck in cycles of negative thinking for those with depression. He explains that ketamine increases neuroplasticity, allowing new neural pathways to form when combined with therapy. This can help people break free from rumination and see their situation from a new perspective.
