How does stigma show up in the way mental health is treated?”

The Practice of Medicine often responds to emotional pain with containment rather than connection.

Protocols are designed to protect institutions—not necessarily to relieve suffering.

When someone says they don’t want to live, the system often escalates control: hospitalization, involuntary holds, disconnection from family. That can add trauma to someone who already feels powerless.

We mean well, but well-intentioned action does not always ask the most important question: What does this person need in order to feel hope supported?

What if there IS a tool that can interrupt suffering long enough for hope to enter?

Are you ready to offer a solution that acts at the urgency that Suicidal Ideation desreves?

When One Session Feels like 20 Years of Therapy ✨

A 42-year-old health professional presented with complex PTSD, severe anxiety, and major depressive disorder.
Her history included:
• Childhood chronic illness
• MVA with significant trauma
• Sexual assault
• High-conflict divorce
• Workplace harassment
• Recent parental loss
Her nervous system was locked in hyperarousal. Sleep disrupted. Relationships strained. Career at risk.
Traditional medications and therapy had provided minimal relief for over 3 years. She tried antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and three classes of antidepressants. She was losing hope.

INTERVENTION:
We initiated ketamine-treatment using a personalized dosing protocol designed to reach dissociative states—not the APA or FDA's standardized dosing.
This is a critical distinction most providers miss.
The FDA-approved intranasal esketamine (Spravato) was designed for treatment-resistant depression using sub-dissociative dosing.
But practitioners delivering care know that the dissociative experience itself is a key predictor of therapeutic outcomes in trauma and severe depression.

Our protocol:
→ Comprehensive medical and psychological screening
→ Preparation session to build psychological safety
→ Titrated IV ketamine to therapeutic dissociation
→ Integration coaching post-session
→ Structured follow-up care

✨RESULTS:
Session 1: Immediate reduction in hyperarousal symptoms. Patient reported first restful sleep in years.
Month 3: Discontinuation of all psychiatric medications (under supervision)
Month 6: Sustained remission. Patient describes feeling "like myself for the first time in decades."
Her exact words: "One session felt like 20+ years of therapy."

WHY THIS MATTERS:
We're not just prescribing medication. We use medication as a catalyst for neuroplastic change within a structured therapeutic framework.

✨Dose matters.
✨Set and setting matter.
✨Preparation and integration matter.

The standard one-size-fits-all approach leaves transformation on the table.

Change Experts Academy trains physicians, NPs, and PAs in this evidence-based methodology for ethical, personalized dosing.

Mental health care deserves tools that actually transform lives—not just manage symptoms.

If you're interested in learning this protocol, comment "UNLOCK" or send me a message.
Let's CHANGE the standard of care together.

The Urgency of Suicidal Ideation calls for an Urgent Solution.

Here's what I was trained to do:
✓ Safety plan
✓ Provide the crisis hotline number
✓ Start another medication and re-evaluate in weeks or months
✓ If immediate risk: 911, transfer to ED, hope for a psych bed

I used to believe that I was doing the best for my patients.

After 20 years of the same protocols, I realize that
🚨 Contracts DON'T WORK
🚨911 and 5150 Holds literally cause more trauma and train our patients not to trust that they can ask for help.
🚨 Waiting and hoping may not bring your patient back alive.

I've lost patients who were in the ER the day before, after overusing street medications that help them escape from their pain.

😤What I didn't know: The National Institute of Mental Health acknowledged an FDA-approved medication as a rapidly acting antidepressant in 2006 after a small study demonstrated a similar outcome at YALE in 2000. Then it took 13 years for manufacturers to release something similar, and not even as effective.

The part that makes me angry: It's off-patent, so no pharmaceutical company will fund the research needed to make it standard of care for su***de prevention.

Translation: Most doctors never learn about it.

Meanwhile, 132 Americans die by su***de every single day. 😔

Since learning this protocol, I've watched it break the cycle of suicidal ideation—not in weeks or days, but in HOURS.

Real patients. Real results. Real hope.

I can't keep this quiet anymore.

If you're a healthcare provider (physician, NP, PA) working in primary care, urgent care, addiction medicine, emergency medicine, or mental health... And you're tired of feeling helpless when patients are in crisis...

JOIN Change Experts Academy's inaugural group of clinicians in this ethical and evidence-based approach.

Suicidal ideation is URGENT, and our response should be too.

Comment "HOPE" if this resonates and you want to learn more.

Let's provide care when they only see a crisis.

Your Medicine Practice wasn’t built for the Urgency of Suicidal Ideation.

Your patient is seated across from you.
They have finally found the courage to tell you the truth. And your options?

The same ones that have failed them before.
Call 911.
Involuntary admission.
Another antidepressant.
Contract for safety.

These protocols calm our anxiety — not theirs.

Let’s call out the truth:

Suicidal Ideation isn’t a character flaw.
Suicidal Ideation is not a lack of motivation.

Considering su***de is a neurobiological crisis that feels like the only exit from unbearable pain.

Telling someone to wait two to six weeks for an antidepressant to start working?
That’s not medicine — that’s Russian roulette.

There’s a better way that they leave out of our education.
ONE medication, KETAMINE, has been recognized by the National Institute of Mental Health as a Rapid-Acting Anti-Depressant.

ONE DOSE delivers initial relief in over eighty percent of patients for reducing acute suicidal ideation — backed by clinical research.

This is not theory, it is protocol — evidence-based and clinically proven to help your clients FAST.

If you’re ready to elevate your clinical practice, expand your impact,and bring real hope to patients in crisis —DM me directly.
Change Experts Academy is enrolling its first cohort to elevate your level of care.

"Unlocking Ketamine for Su***de Prevention" is designed for providers who refuse to accept ‘wait and see’ as medicine.

Change starts now.

Many of behaviors that we introduce to our children is with best intention. We know that early exposure to screens causes trouble with attention and focus in school. Increasing "ADHD" may be part of the unintended consequence of exposing our children to technology.

Parents have an opportunity to move beyond passive screen management and embrace intentional plans for their children's digital interactions. The rise of internet and gaming addiction is a real concern, impacting mental health, social development, and academic success.

Here are some thoughts for creating more intentional screen use:

Understand the "Why": Recognize that excessive screen time can lead to preoccupation, withdrawal symptoms, and a loss of interest in other activities.

Set Clear Boundaries: Consider guidelines like no screens in bedrooms, no social media before age 16, and limited video game play (e.g., half an hour a day).

Prioritize Real-World Engagement: Encourage activities that foster movement, exploration, social interaction, and creativity to counteract the "screen-based childhood."

Be a Role Model: Children often imitate parental screen habits. Be mindful of your own digital use.

Educate Yourself: Learn about persuasive design techniques used by tech companies and how they can contribute to addictive behaviors.

Foster a Holistic Approach: Support your child's overall well-being by addressing physical health, emotional regulation, and social skills development alongside screen use.

Let's empower our children to thrive in a digital world, not be consumed by it.

Here’s a mindset shift that changes everything: Don’t wait until you’re ready — decide first, and clarity follows.

People often tell me, “I’ll reach out when work slows down… when I’m less tired… when I can think clearly again.”

But here’s the truth — clarity doesn’t come before action. It comes after you decide to take it.

You don’t wait to feel peaceful to begin healing — you decide to reconnect with your peace, and that decision guides you forward.

ACE Medical's 10-Day “Reconnect with Your Peace” Ketamine program helps reset your brain from overload, restore focus, and renew energy.

You don’t have to be ready to start. You have to decide it’s time to feel like yourself again.

“I began my career as a Family Medicine educator—teaching doctors to be doctors. For more than 20 years, I treated depression, anxiety, and the effects of trauma and addiction.When I lost my brother, Daniel, to fentanyl poisoning in 2022, everything changed. His journey ended too soon. This is a personal and tragic testament to the devastating power of addiction in families. His death was a painful reminder that we can lose loved ones when we don’t create better ways to connect. My brother’s tragedy became my turning point, and I shifted my work entirely into addiction and patient-first, trauma-informed medicine.
Today, through Addiction Change Experts, I help people Unlock Your Brain and experience transformational healing using ketamine—one of the most effective medications I’ve ever worked with. Unlike traditional treatments that take weeks or months, ketamine can restore emotional balance in hours or days. For people living with suicidal thoughts, severe depression, anxiety, and chronic trauma, ketamine can break the cycle of self-harm and help you change your self-limiting thoughts after one dose.What excites me most is giving people and families hope again—helping them find transformation, stability, and a new way forward before it’s too late.”— Dr. Eugene C. Santillano, M.D. Founder, Addiction Change Experts
