What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

Definition

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines ketamine’s therapeutic effects with professional psychotherapist support, enabling patients to safely explore their inner experiences. This method fosters profound insights and emotional healing in a controlled environment.

History

Originally developed as an anesthetic in the 1960s, ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for decades. In recent years, research has revealed its potential as a powerful tool in treating mental health disorders, leading to its use in psychotherapy.

Safety and Efficacy

Research confirms ketamine’s safety and effectiveness in treating various mental health conditions, with studies showing significant symptom improvements for many patients. This evidence supports ketamine as a promising option for those with treatment-resistant conditions.
