But I'm not talking about just asking medical staff for the drug. I'm asking about therapy that uses ketamine to treat depression.

See, e.g., Efficacy of ketamine therapy in the treatment of depression and Ketamine Isn’t an Opioid and Treats Depression in a Unique Way

I know someone who used it, I will see if I can find out where she went. It may have been this place

Hopkins is also looking for people to participate in a psilocybin study if you have any interest in that

Thanks! I had not thought to look at studies. But I just checked Hopkins' website for that, and sure enough, they are conducting a number of psilocybin studies. They focus on specific conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's, anorexia nervosa) that don't fit my situation. But it is good to know that studies can be a source of treatment. (Now that I think of it, I got my covid vaccinations -- the first two -- in the Astra-Zeneca trial!)
