Patient Questions about University of Michigan Health
This question is matched to the conditions University of Michigan Health treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Is University of Michigan Health suited for treatment-resistant depression?
University of Michigan Health treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
