## The new treatment
Hi there,
Those of you following me on social media might know that I was hospitalised again. The hospital
stay was originally scheduled to happen later, but since my mental state deteriorated too quickly I
was hospitalised earlier and on a different ward.
The reason behind all this was a new treatment having been approved last year. All studies yielded
very good results even for patients with chronic depression like me, so I wanted to give it a shot.
I did not expect a cure, but hoped a little for some long-term relief. In the very least I didn't
want to be able to scold myself for a missed opportunity.
The treatment itself is a new form medication, a nasal spray containing Esketamine, which I
received two times a week during my hospitalisation and still receive once a week, but now as an
out-patient.
So far I can confirm its overwhelmingly positive effects. I feel more energetic than I have felt
in a very long time, probably ever. My regular antidepressants have been reduced -- a fact I was
not thrilled about in the beginning -- due to interference with the Esketamine. I still remain on
the reduced dosage and feel fine. This is also a huge win.
Some little damper I have with this treatment: The day I receive the treatment is usually lost,
since I get very tired as a side-effect of the drug, but this is outweighed by the positive changes
I have from it.
In the coming weeks the drug will be slowly faded out and I will test how long I can go without it.
If the need arises in the future I may repeat this treatment. I hope this will not happen too soon.
SO far for this bigger update.
Keep calm and wash hands
