It sounds like you know NOTHING about ketamine or psilosibin therapy and are just talking hot air. Unlike SSRIs which changes brain chemistry and you need to be on it for the rest of your lives, most people suffering from PTSD recover after a single treatment. That's why ketamine and psilsobin therapy is being pushed by everyone who cares about veteran suicides. Educate yourself.

I do happen to know a thing or two about them. They're just not silver bullets for veteran suicide, PTSD, or cPTSD in the way you're describing them. They help and should be available for sure. I've advocated for them in the past on this very forum. > most people suffering from PTSD recover after a single treatment. That is incorrect. Ketamine therapy for PTSD or cPTSD (what most at the VA have) requires years of treatment. Psilocybin therapy is the same; I live in Oregon where we have clinics and practitioners for this stuff. None of those clinics claim that one time treatment will cure you. I am a veteran and obviously do care about veteran suicide otherwise I wouldn't be calling out this gobbledegook you're spreading on a public forum in lieu of all the various different kinds of work the VA does.

  You are literally lying. Psilosibin only needs 1-2 treatments and is very long lasting. Same as ketamine, which might need up to 6. Both are nothing compared to SSRIs. You are lying when you say it needs years of treatment.

    I am not "literally lying". Both of these treatments often require therapy up to the point of treatment and then continued therapy after. Most people are not doing weekly therapy for that kind of trauma because it's workshop style work. It takes time to implement. The time between therapy starts to add up quick. The actual dose is one treatment, or in the case of ketamine spread across an array of treatments, but the therapy before and after is what takes the bulk of what I'm talking about. I don't mean you spend years dosing.
