Supermodel Chrissy Teigen recently celebrated her 38th birthday surrounded by her loved ones and ketamine therapy.
Via her Instagram account, she said the psychedelic session made her see “space and time” as well as baby Jack “and some weird penguins,” and that she “cried and cried and cried.”
Teigen previously opened up about her pregnancy loss in Sept. 2020, a child that she and husband John Legend had named Jack.
Also mother to Luna (7) and Miles (5,) the couple has since welcomed two more children: daughter Esti, born in Jan. 2023,= and a son Wren, born through surrogacy in June 2023.
Used as an anesthetic since the '60s, ketamine is currently used off-label for its potential mental health benefits for conditions including treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and alcohol use disorder.

Although Teigen has been open about her mental health struggles and how talk therapy has helped her, this is reportedly her first public mention of ketamine therapy.
