This treatment isn't offered routinely in the US but is quite popular in the UK now.

Wow, you are very fortunate that you live in a region where this is popular. I'll inquire about this with Alan's doctor.
Thanks very much

P.S. I just looked on the internet about this treatment. It seems the adverse side effects are well, very scary. I don't think Alan would go for it. I don't even know if it's approved where we live. It's called Ketamine over here.
