Researchers have uncovered a number of potential applications for psychedelic therapy. Studies have found that anxiety, depression, substance use, alcohol use, and PTSD may all respond positively to psychedelic-assisted treatments.
Psychedelics are powerful substances that can produce profound mind-altering effects. These drugs are believed to work by affecting the neural circuits that use the neurotransmitter serotonin. Psychedelic therapy shows a great deal of promise in the treatment of a wide variety of mental health conditions including addiction and depression.
The newest revolutionary treatment in mental health is now available at our clinic. Ketamine is a glutamate (NMDA receptor) modulator, and is the only legal psychedelic medicine available to mental health providers for the treatment of easing emotional suffering.
One of the best things about ketamine treatment is that it can have very long lasting effects on mood disorders, even though the infusion process itself doesn’t take a very long time and the drug doesn’t stay in your body for very long. Some people can see an improvement as little as an hour after treatment, but for some folks it takes a few more sessions to feel a difference.
