I had my follow-up appointment with the ketamine clinic today. They basically say that I'm a non-responder in the short term because there are only very small improvements compared to when I started.

They say that there's a chance that might still respond in the four weeks following treatment, so we have a follow-up booked to assess then. They say I'd be better off not going to a private clinic during these 4 weeks and that I should wait for the assessment.

I'm a little disappointed by the result but it's not completely unexpected because I could see that I wasn't responding to the treatment.

I guess all I can do is think positive thoughts and do things that help me for the next 4 weeks. That means getting good sleep, eating property, and staying busy. That won't be hard to do because there's a lot going on at home.
