BONUS: Novel Suicidal Intervention

Written By Zaiba Hasan

​Shownotes:

Dr. Sheba Shah, MD comes on to talk about her path to helping patients with refractory depression and acute suicidality and newer methods to treat, namely, ketamine infusions. These centers are popping up all over the country and we want to make sure that our audience families know what to look for and what to run away from ASAP.

Not insignificant is a nod to Dr. Sheba Shah’s mom because behind every successful person is the driving force of a mom. Make duaa for her and ameen. Further, learn the history of and criteria for ketamine treatment, the types available, and what steps to take with your primary care doctor and/or psychiatrist to find out how to set it up for those who qualify. We want to make sure that those in our audience who regularly struggle with suicidal thoughts have HOPE, but we cannot a guarantee a cure. We are praying for all of you over here.

Tune in at 6pm EST for this BONUS episode that we had to put out for you because we wanted to be solutions-focused here on the podcast, but in no way is this episode medical advice. It is meant to provide medical options to discuss with your medical team. Share this with someone you know is struggling to be seen and cared for.
