About the author
Julian Uzielli is an associate producer at CBC Radio's Podcast Playlist, and has suffered from lifelong clinical depression. In late 2020 at age 29, he experienced his worst-ever episode, and it was clear that conventional therapy and medication were no longer working. He decided to try a three-week course of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and he describes the results as "life-changing." He recently produced a radio story about his experience for CBC's The Doc Project.
