My experience to the tee with entheogenic psychedelic medicines and ketamine, in addition to ketamine analogs and other NMDA antagonist molecules.
I used to even combine multiple compounds together to reach a similar state to address deep shadow work.
Been some time since doing so, this was back in 2018-2020.

I also had this experience when I was inducing a highly neurotrophic state with herbal medicines, fasting, and pranayama, as I was working to repair my brain and central nervous system.

This study really highlights the vital importance of light environment, circadian rhythm, nutritional status, physical activity, and mitochondrial, metabolic, and hormonal health.
Diet, exercise, stress management, and environmental toxins plays a large role in hormone balance, but not more than light itself.
I’ve seen and worked with both men and women who’ve had it ALL down, except their light environment and circadian rhythm. Still severe hormone dysregulation present.
Correcting nutritional deficiencies can help to correct circadian rhythm, but there must be an active effort.
But yes, as per many manufacturers’ guidelines that often go ignored by many psychiatrists, for most medications they are best to use acutely to stabilize oneself to enable the individual to regain control of their life, their mindset, and their routines.

Nothing to be ashamed of if you need a hand to pick yourself back up, just ensure you do not become physiologically and psychologically dependent on the medication as a crutch.
