Dear Alastair, I am a regular listener and have just finished your book “Better Living”. As a senior psychotherapist (focused on trauma & addiction) I found it truly worth reading and very honest. Only missed a mention of nasal Ketamine treatment as a legal medication for treatment resistant depression (don’t mind crazy Elon’s misuse!). At Vienna Medical University Clinic, Dr. Lucie Bartova studies its effects on depression, long covid and psychosis (lucie.bartova@meduniwien.ac.at). Looking forward to a second volume on mental health issues, all the best, Silvia Franke, Vienna, Austria
