    In this video, we explore the potential of ketamine (and other psychedelics) as a therapeutic tool for addressing the loneliness epidemic. This only refers to the medically supervised and legal use of these medicines. As the mental and physical health effects of loneliness become increasingly apparent, it's crucial to identify innovative solutions to this pressing issue. We'll discuss various aspects of loneliness, such as its types, causes, and ways to identify it in others, and delve into the US Surgeon General's (Dr. Vivek Murthy) recent discussion on the loneliness epidemic.
    🔍 Understanding Loneliness
    To fully comprehend the potential of ketamine in addressing loneliness, it's essential first to understand the different types of loneliness and their causes. In the video, we'll cover the following topics:
    Three types of loneliness: Emotional, social, and existential loneliness
    Main causes of loneliness: Personal circumstances, mental health challenges, social isolation, and digital dependence
    Identifying loneliness in others: Recognizing signs of loneliness in those around us
    🏥 The Loneliness Epidemic: US Surgeon General's Discussion
    The US Surgeon General has recently brought attention to the loneliness epidemic, emphasizing the significant impact of loneliness on public health. We'll explore the factors contributing to the increasing prevalence of loneliness and the urgent need for public health initiatives to address this issue.
    🌟 Ketamine's Role in Uplifting Lonely Individuals
    Recent research has shown that ketamine therapy, traditionally used as an anesthetic, may help combat loneliness and improve mood. In the video, we'll discuss the following aspects of ketamine therapy:
    Rapid-acting antidepressant effects: Ketamine's potential to alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression
    Enhanced empathy and connectedness: How ketamine can help those struggling with emotional and social loneliness
    Risks and considerations: The importance of discussing potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider before considering ketamine therapy
    Dr. Kaveh provides an in-depth look at the potential of ketamine, as well as other psychedelics, as a therapeutic solution to the loneliness epidemic. By understanding the different types of loneliness, their causes, and the recent discussion by the US Surgeon General, we can better appreciate the promise of ketamine therapy in helping lonely individuals achieve their social goals.

    My last surgery was completely unaccompanied. I drove myself to the hospital, took the shuttle to a hotel after I was released, and put myself up in a hotel for two days before I was allowed to drive the two hours back home. It meant a lot for my frame of mind going into surgery that the anesthesiologist looked me in the eye, patted my shoulder, and said, "We're going to take good care of you." Thanks for being a compassionate provider. I've known many doctors who aren't.

      First of all, I totally get it and I'm sorry you had to go through all of that alone. It's definitely not easy. After doing that during covid for 4 back surgeries, I know that it greatly affected my state of mind when I woke up. I was sobbing and in a panic, every single time. On the flip side, I know now the strength I have within me...I made it! You made it! We're women, we can do hard things. :)

      I have found that reading stoicism a great asset in coming to peace with the limits of life and anticipating the worse that can happen with surgery and coming to peace with that reality. Not just grinning and bearing it but really accepting one's mortality, that even the universe will have a heat death. I find meditation also useful.

      You did not mention your social connections. If you have friends in your life it may be possible to share your concerns with them and ask them if they can help you. Ahead of surgery you can see if one of your friends will visit you in the hospital (it can be a different person each day), someone to wait during your surgery to speak to your doctor about how it went so that they can tell you enough times that you remember (or write it down for you, maybe in a journal specific to this surgery and recovery). People who will provide meals when you go home and visit for a few minutes. Its doesn't have to fall on one person to do all, just each friend doing what they can.

    Psychedelics killed my drug and alcohol dependencies - one trip two years ago to purge my depression and chronic anxiety from my system was the best decision I ever made. I've done psilocybin mushrooms a few times since, but after my last high dose trip I realized that the medicine has taught me enough for now. I might return to psychedelics later in my life if I ever find a source.

    I think this loneliness epidemic from young people stems from fear of rejection because we are bombarded with "perfect" lives from too much social media which may stimulate one or all forms of loneliness. I think finding joy and simple pleasures from the little things that surround us like your pets or hobbies can help overcome the negative effects of this bad influence.

    My psychologist and psychiatrist have told me about this very treatment. Algorithms brought me to you. While I find how the behind the scenes tracking of ones interest to be invasive, this is one very important time I would absolutely agree and appreciate what you present to the general public in order to understand medical interaction processes we go through. For different reasons, I was at a place in life where I was willing to give Ketamine Treatment a try. I have never smoked, I do not drink and never have been an alcoholic or drug abuser. Somehow, I always end up with the doctors that believe I am a drug seeker. I explained many times about the parameters of the text book classic response to anesthesia or pain meds work, that is the 80% of "norm". Then there is the 10% on the left where just a tiny bit works like magic! Then....the other 10%....I am in that spectrum. Because of your other RUclips videos, I learn to try to be mindful and practice breathing/meditation. In short, just be and "allow". In 30 years of military, doctors are for the most part arrogant and dismissive doctors I have ever been treated by. I am a retired Sergeant Major. I can only wonder how the lower enlisted Soldiers may be treated. (Rabbit hole). I have found that same treatment in the civilian sector of assembly line surgeries. Thus, I am in the upmost of fear, mistrust, PTSD issues and so on. So the "white coat syndrome" has become who I am with incessant non stop chatter. I am now in my almost 20th Ketamine Treatment and I can say, I have just felt the release you have mentioned. It is a start and I look forward to my continued process to become a better mindful person and more, if not most, important last week, I left my treatment feeling at peace. Not finished...but what a break through. Suicidal intentions are a bit more distant. The military uses and discards folks like a dirty rag and ourselves to try to find our way. Thank you so much for being available to help, take the time to care, be kind, uplift others and simply just take time from your very busy day. Trust is so hard. (Side note: 30 years military and 13 years with VA, so urinalysis is a constant. I am NOT a drug user of any kind unless prescribed)

      Just for information, I also receive VA care. Cannabis is not considered a harmful 'drug' by the VA, many vets, including myself, use cannabis regularly, and share that information with the VA, and there is no backlash. The VA seems to tolerate cannabis fairly well. I do not have to give regular urine samples, and I wonder why you do.

      @@shepberryhill4912 The Birmingham, Alabama VA mental health policy is to provide urinalysis when on multiple SSRI (Bupropion, Buspar, Sertraline and any "benzo's medications.) I have just recently became the first patient to receive Ketamine Infusions thru outsourcing facility, otherwise, I spent my own money over $3k to try that therapy to help me remain on this earth. Every day is hard. But I am still here. If they need me to pee, pee I shall. Cannabis has not been offered. Although I am 100% disabled, that has not been on the table. I did try edibles twice. Twice I had the most debilitating headache and joint aches (funny "joint" aches) when I did try. Made me feel very "hungover and very sick" - I will not ask for that. Our VA system makes the Veteran work VERY hard for any help we may receive. So when I cross paths with a Dr that knows the system, we take every opportunity to use it for my benefit. EVERYTHING is a fight. This, I gave 30 years just like so many others and like so many others, we are all sick of the system. It is very tragic :(

    I am in my early 40’s dealing with CPTSD. I lost my partner four years ago in tragic circumstances in front of me.
    I have completely isolated myself from the world and don’t have any contact with my family (my Mum passed when I was 15) because of the severe childhood abuse and abandonment I don’t feel safe to have any contact with people because I am terrified of losing someone again. I can’t go through it after so much loss.
    I am deep down a people person and dogs are my favourite animal. Unfortunately in Australia ketamine is not passed by the government so I am trying to find another way to get help because psychotherapy isn’t helping. I don’t want to sound like a victim and I am not seeking out sympathy. I am hoping to find something that can regulate my emotions and central nervous system. Meditation has been very beneficial but that’s a kind of do it on your own kind of practice. I am so grateful that I have found your channel and I love Karma. 🐶

I’ve done many years of recovery work but still have a lot of losses due to a very toxic family of origin who have ostracized me bc I spoke about the abuse and have challenged the homeostasis of my family. No support whatsoever for all the further verbal abuse I’ve received for doing the right thing. I have ADHD also which I just found out is on the spectrum of autism which shocked me.

    This is such a deep and multi-faceted topic. I think you did a great job of breaking it down. I didn't get to use ketamine and I never used alcohol or drugs. But, I was thrown into complete isolation four years ago when my husband passed away. I never turned the TV on and I live in silence. I knew that I had to get to the bottom of this or I was going to die. I wasn't even thinking about happiness or purpose. I was trying to keep myself out of depression which I already suffer from. I went four months without hearing another person's voice or looking into someone's eyes. That was a real breaking point for me. I started to disassociate and found myself looking at myself from the outside. It was like having my worst fear come true and living through it. Ironic that I found some healing in it. I even found peace. My relationship to my Creator who is the the Source and Love of my life was always strong. I remember something breaking and letting go. I said out loud, I Trust You. I meant it. I stopped looking for anybody to fix something that can only be fixed through my spirit and my body. My mom is dying of dementia now. I even found peace with it through trust. I look back now and I realized I suffered on the edge of suicide for most of my life because, I didn't believe anyone knew me. Therefore, no one could truly love me and I didn't trust anyone. My late husband knew me. And, he never let me forget it for the 23 years I knew him. If he had passed away a year earlier I would have been hopeless. I needed every day that I had with him to collect the tools I needed to eventually use. Including my love for God. I found that real love and being known by him helped me to deepen my faith. Loneliness is a slow death if you don't eventually have anyone in your life. I don't know what God has planned but, leaning into him with trust has helped me a great deal. Thank you for going into subjects that I find as fascinating as they are intricate. It's your kind heart and true empathy that ultimately blends with ketamine to cause healing. Feeling safe is extremely important. 💙 Carly

    The way that you describe gaining control over our health and mindset makes it seem like far more than just an unattainable abstract concept, but a reality that is within reach to anyone willing to take the time to improve their quality of life.
    It feels like I’ve been waiting over half my life to come to this realization. I am very discerning with the advice I choose to accept from other people. If something doesn’t resonate with me on a soul level, I am unlikely to feel inspired or benefit from it.
    But with the way in which you present surprisingly straightforward solutions to even the most challenging conditions or situations such as anxiety or isolation with incredible perspective, I don’t even have to ask myself if it makes sense to me, or if I agree - something just clicks when I hear you speak, reigniting my will to live basically instantaneously.

    I assessed young children in the Early Start program for 16 years, some were still Gen Z. We got a lot of kids with extreme behaviors and developmental delays. It turned out they were spending many hours on their parents cell phones a day. Im talking kids between the ages of 12-36 months and sometimes even younger alone in a corner with an electronic device, their parents also staring at a small screen all day.
    They had something called reactive attachment disorder (rad), which is what happens when an infant or toddler is socially isolated. In trying to pacify and entertain their child, they were replicating the "Pit of Despair" experiment, in which infant monkeys are removed from their mother and placed in cage with no touch or social contact. The longer the baby monkeys stayed in the pit, the more malformed their brains, some even developing autistic traits.
    And thats exactly what we saw in the Early Start program. The worst part is that RAD is a severe mental health disorder turns into antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy/psychopathy) in adulthood because empathy is learned in early childhood and after the age of 3 its too late. Its an epidemic and there needs to be "not for children under 3" warning on cell phones. Look out. They are coming. Some of them are already here (people born after 2007).

I don't have friends, I don't talk to anyone online, no one even tries to talk to me. I barely use my phone, I have nothing to use it for, aside of playing RUclips videos to spent time but even that is barely few hours per day so it's definitely not a phone addiction. So what am I supposed to do to fix my life? I've tried starting conversations with people I've known and with strangers. It just doesn't flow, I have nothing to say to people, so how can I make friends and connect without saying anything?

    Thank you again, Dr. Kaveh, for some interesting content. Regarding fractals in visual experiences, Oliver Sacks, in his book Awakenings, relates a description by one of the patients he treated. The patient describes a mostly visual experience which we would probably call fractal-like. This account is not in the main text, it's in one of the footnotes he has throughout the text but I can't find the page just now. Dr. Sacks also mentions Hildegard of Bingen and her visions which seem fractal-like. I think she even drew one but I can't find that either now (LOL).

I have a full compliment of other therapies in my mental-health tool box that are not drug-related, which I use regularly. One of my biggest problems is a consistent quality of sleep. I am 60 now and am always hopeful that I will find my best life and the best version of myself, beyond mental illness.

    After meditating daily for the last 30 years, usually between 1-2 hours ( I built up to that over years, used to be 3-4 hours which I was fine with but life and taking care of responsibility can't be ignored. The concept of loneliness really rarely visits me and when it does I observe it and it goes away like anger, hatred, greed and delusion. I practice basic Theravada Buddhist meditation and also do long retreats when I can. I look forward to doing a 3 month solo retreat in a year or so as I am near retirement, and hopefully doing it once a year. I have a family, wife and kids I love deeply, but loneliness is basically fear and discomfort of spending time with yourself - which is why people spend their lives in diversion (including RUclips) rather than deep self exploration. Your mind is not your friend, left to it's own devices will usually lead you to negative places. I strongly encourage it to everyone - it's not an opinion, it's a fact that it will fundamentally change your for the positive. If you want to be free of anger, fear, hate, greed, and delusion, it's a really good thing to do - it doesn't make you a zombie, it makes you a more unfettered, fearless, free, and open human being with compassion.

    In my experience, people are lonely because they don't have the mental or physical energy to handle personal relationships outside of their life nessesities anymore. Even when we want to connect, we are so drained by the end of the day we end up in bed instead of making that effort to deal with people. For that same reason, they tend to be flakey and friendships don't last long anymore because of the lack of commitment. Friendships and humans in general have been put on the backburner for the sake of the economy.

    It was a 4hr infusion for chronic pain, TN, TMJ, DJD, and total joint replacement of my left jaw bone.
    We prayed, I put on some great music, and I rode a roller coaster, literally, I felt like I was on a roller coaster.
    For me, in the end it did not work, sadly. It gave me a “body high”, I felt my skin and body in an extreme way.
    I guess you can have two reactions one where it helps the pain and another when your body feels it.
    I’m so happy that it is helping so many others.

    I hear so many people talk about how psychedelics makes them feel connected to everything, but for me it's always done the exact opposite. They highlight the sense of fundamental alienation from everyone that I always feel deep down. I've been getting ketamine therapy recently for my MDD and the clinic staff always asks me if it makes me feel "out in the universe", but again, it's the complete opposite for me. It feels like I go deep inside myself and it really takes me a while afterwards to start interacting with anyone again. I see others come out of it with a heightened gregariousness, but for me I'm terrified of anyone trying to interact with me. I slink out of the clinic afterwards thinking "please please please nobody talk to me or even look at me". I'm usually fine again after a couple of hours, but I'm still always so puzzle why it is that my psychedelic experiences are always so opposite to everyone else's.

    I had never taken Ketamine in my life and wasn’t planning on taking it. At a bar I was slipped obviously far to much and I completely lost my sense of reality. During the high anything could have happened. I had absolutely no control over myself whatsoever.

    Do you have any experience with MDMA? Or the therapeutic value that so many speak about these days when it comes to having a guided session with MDMA? And personally very curious. I’ve had other experiences with some psychedelics in the therapeutic values that I personally have experienced. But it seems that the conversations I’ve had with people that have done MDMA say it so different. And to them who is more life changing and rewarding the many of the other therapeutics psychedelics that they have experienced.

    Has anyone tried an at home Ketamine therapy? If so, how was it, and who did you use?

    @medicalsecrets -- Recent news on tv reports on K or some imposter supplements sold as k were being sold at convenience and similar small stores, then people dying or suffering serious injury. -- Please clarify here or do you have a video explaining what that stuff is? Maybe people are trying to self-medicate with those and other substances.
