"I've tried a number of antidepressants over the years and nothing has made a significant difference. I have a family history of alcohol use and I am interested to try ketamine."
"I've been experiencing bipolar depression since I was a teenager and have tried many treatments that have not helped: SSRIs (Prozac), Wellbutrin, talk therapy. None worked. I've heard great things about ketamine therapy and would really like to try it. I'd like to access it through a clinical trial."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."
"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."
