The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives: Ketamine Therapy Got National Attention on Hulu

A recent episode of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu put ketamine therapy in the spotlight. Cast members opened up about using it to manage depression, confront trauma, and reconnect with their partners. The episode sparked interest—but also confusion.

If you're in the Vero Beach area and considering ketamine or Spravato as a treatment option, here’s what you need to know—and how Wave Treatment Centers in Vero Beach offers this therapy in a safe, medically guided environment.

What Is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine is a well-researched medication originally used as an anesthetic. In recent years, it’s been shown to help people with depression who haven’t improved with traditional treatments.

At Wave Treatment Centers in Vero Beach, we offer Spravato—an FDA-approved version of ketamine administered via nasal spray. It’s only available through licensed medical providers and is always given under medical supervision.

This isn’t a quick fix or a casual experience. It’s a medical therapy designed to support real, long-term healing.

What the Show Got Right

The Hulu episode got a few things right:

• Some patients do feel a mental reset. People often describe a shift in how they think and feel after treatment.
• It’s a last-resort option for many. Patients turn to ketamine when other approaches—other medication, therapy, or both—haven’t worked. It may not be necessary to suffer through numerous failed treatments; get a psychiatric evaluation at Wave Treatment Centers Vero Beach and learn about your best treatment options.
• The emotional impact is real. The show captured how deeply ketamine can help people connect with their emotions and begin healing.
  

What the Show Left Out

That said, some key details were missing:

• The therapy shown lacked medical oversight. Ketamine treatment should always be monitored by medical professionals. That wasn’t clear in the episode.
• They didn’t mention Spravato. The FDA-approved version used in clinical settings like Wave is different from what was implied onscreen. Spravato is a nasal spray administered at Wave while you are monitored and avoids the need for IV access.
• It’s more than just a session—it’s a plan. At Wave Vero Beach, ketamine isn’t a standalone option. It’s part of a personalized mental health strategy built with psychiatric guidance and support.
