Fix The Mind: Treatment

Find your happiness

Ketamine is typically used for people searching for more joy and happiness in their lives. This new found joy and happiness comes from alleviation of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Patients find inner love, peace, and the ability to forgive themselves and others.

Why has Ketamine become so popular?

It starts working within hours to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, and other mental health conditions.

Patients have a sense of inner love and joy following a session. Patients report a feeling of decreased stress after the treatment. It is one of the only medications that actually creates new pathways in the brain and interrupts negative loops. It is 70% effective in treatment resistant depression.

Some patients have been able to reduce or eliminate psychiatric medication. No loss of libido, patients actually report having an increase in sexual desire. No weight gain like many other depression, anxiety, and PTSD medications. Patients are able to overcome past traumas that have been holding them back from living their happiest life. The ability to let go of emotional baggage and feel free again.

Ketamine can help patients learn to adapt to environmental or social stimuli thus making the person less likely to be triggered.

Why is Ketamine Therapy Effective?

Studies Show a High Success Rate: Though ketamine is still being actively studied, the current research is promising. Studies have shown more than half of patients experienced significant relief after even one treatment, and more after several infusions.

Works Quickly: Patients report relief after just a few sessions, and often after a few hours. Unlike SSRIs, which take several weeks of daily dosage to determine if the medication will work, results from ketamine are evaluated immediately.

Longer Lasting Results: Relief from symptoms lasts much longer than the active period when a patient is actively taking treatments. Traditional anti-depressants are only effective while you are taking them daily.

A typical ketamine treatment plan will require 6 sessions over several week period, and then long term monitoring and maintenance that may include booster sessions as needed. Ketamine stimulates brain changes that lead to extended relief.

Ketamine causes neuroplasticity which lasts 2 weeks after a ketamine session. Neuroplasticity also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and re-organization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned.

Ketamine promotes neurogensis which is the biological process through which new neurons are formed. Ketamine promotes the re-growth of synaptic connections that are responsible for rapid improvement. Ketamine is anti-inflammatory. Evidence suggests that anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and agoraphobia are associated with increased inflammation in the body. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov study)

The Ketamine Experience

  • To prepare for your ketamine session, we advise you to fast for 4 hours prior to the session.
  • Make sure to take nausea medications at least 30 mins prior to starting ketamine.
  • Session should be in a comfortable recliner, couch, bed, or place of comfort laying down.
  • Room should be quiet and free of distractions.
  • Make sure that a clear path to the restroom is available.
  • Make sure to have an eye mask and headphones with the recommended playlist.
  • Wear comfortable clothing such as pajamas.
Before the session begins, you will pick an intention or goal for your session and write it in your notebook. You will then lay down with your eye shades, headphones, and complete a 10-15 min relaxation meditation because we want you to go into your session as relaxed as possible.

When completing a ketamine session, set and setting is very important to the outcome of your experience. A set refers to how you are feeling going into a ketamine session such as your mood and mindset and setting refers to the atmosphere you complete your session in. You will want to pick a set and setting that is comfortable for you to maximize your experience.
First, we schedule an appointment for you to meet with the medical provider and discuss a treatment plan. After the treatment plan, the medication is mailed to your home from the pharmacy. Once you complete your first session, we follow up to see how the session was and make dosing modifications if needed. We will continue to call you after each session is completed to assure the best experience possible.
Studies have shown the most effective and clinically proven results are from a minimum of 6 sessions within 3 weeks. After the minimum of six sessions, the patient would go into a maintenance phase which is patient-specific based on their individual needs.
