Hey guys,

I have been a lurker for a few years and suffer from depression (Mainly due to anxiety, and confidence issues stemming from my height). I've tried anti-depressants and they haven't done anything for me so I stopped them.Due to my job/social position- it's very hard to deal with social anxiety, anxiety, etc.. Hence, I'm considering getting ketamine infusions for the condition (boosters every 2 months or so). I'm not suicidal or anything close to that. I do plan on getting LL in the future and would be wondering if my application would straight out be rejected by US doctors (Paley and Mahboudian) due to my condition.

Sounds like you have height neurosis simply so probably not

Hi James444
I think most of doctors will not reject you in most of cases.  You may be a little depressed or unhappy about height that is a common reason for CLL.  In fact, Dr. P and M do not assess your mental status anymore.  Just be better for you to be more optimistic and positive which will help you during CLL. 
So if you are really not happy about your height, make a good and solid plan that will allow you to do cll as well as to keep/maintain/transfer your job.
Good luck!

At the very least don't do LL alone.
