Could Your Depression Be In Remission in 5 Days?
Yes, with associated caveats.
This week, we got the biggest news in psychiatry ever. I’ve been waiting for this since 2018, and publishing on the steps leading to this regularly, so I’m glad this treatment got the FDA clearance so I don’t sound like a quack. There will be a number of caveats.1
Depression, as a thing that haunts the minds and lives of millions of people, could be over2 in five days. It doesn’t mean over forever. It does mean for now. Endless medical caveats aside3, it’s big deal news. No, you can’t go just get it yet. But it has been on the today show.4 It has to be made generally available through an extensive effort in manufacturing, distribution, systems of care, integration with existing systems, education of providers, sub-specialist training, new payment models, new staffing models, maybe even new business models etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
