Learn More About Ketamine
Ketamine is a synthetic medication that was initially used as an adjuvant to anesthetics in the 1960s. It has been used in the Vietnam war to reduce physical pain due to injuries. At higher dosages, it is used in the operating and emergency rooms for surgeries as a large part of an anesthetic regimen.
In the 1970s, Ketamine was approved by the FDA as an anesthetic and since has been used around the world in humans and animals. It is a safe and successful anesthetic used in hospitals, dentist offices, and veterinary and medical clinics since its development.
Within the past several decades years, Ketamine was identified as having beneficial effects on patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Postpartum Depression, Major Depressive Disorder, Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), and Suicidality (need reference).
Depression is the leading cause of disability around the world. In the United States, over 16 million adults experience major depression within the course of a year. Between 1999 and 2016, depression- related suicide rates increased by over 30% (reference).
What our customers want to know
What is In-Home Ketamine Therapy , and how does it work?
In-Home Ketamine Therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines the use of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, with psychological therapy. It is administered in the comfort and privacy of your own home under the guidance of trained professionals following a thorough on-site evaluation. Ketamine is employed to induce a heightened state of consciousness that can facilitate deep exploration and processing of emotions and memories during therapy sessions. It works by affecting certain receptors in the brain and promoting neuroplasticity, allowing for new insights and healing to occur.
What conditions or issues can be treated with ketamine?
In-Home Ketamine Therapy (IHK), conducted under the supervision of a qualified medical doctor or therapist, holds significant promise in addressing a wide range of mental health conditions. These include treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and substance use disorders. Beyond its therapeutic benefits, In-Home Ketamine Therapy can also foster personal growth, stimulate creativity, and contribute to an overall sense of improved well-being.
What is the difference between IV and Oral Ketamine at Klearmind Clinics?
At Klearmind Clinics, IV Ketamine offers a faster, more intense effect under medical supervision, while Oral Ketamine provides a gentler, gradual experience for deeper therapeutic processing; the best option depends on your needs and clinician’s recommendation.
What are the common side effects of oral ketamine?
The most common side effects of oral ketamine are nausea and dizziness, which can be managed with precautions like taking it with food, using prescribed anti-nausea medication (Zofran), and following clinician guidance.
