I'm Sharon Katz, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and psychiatric clinical nurse specialist. I have owned a large clinical practice for over 25 years, seeing a lot of evolution of mental health delivery. Psychedelics have the most potent deliverable therapy for decreasing the impact of severe depression, PTSD and reduction of suicide, three major benchmarks seen as the keys to reduction of health care expense. We are strapped by insurances to get these benchmarks down, contributing to promises of increased reimbursement models. With good demonstration models of the effect on the population long term, we will change how mental health is delivered!
I hope to learn from others and work to develop good protocols and data that can help with the process!
