4 Amazing Ways Ketamine Will Change Your Brain

Ketamine is an amazing medication. It is an anesthetic, painkiller, mental health treatment, and entheogen all wrapped into one. We have successfully treated hundreds of patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, suicidal ideation, and addiction using ketamine at Wonder Medicine. Greater than 90% of the people we treat get better.  But, having the right plan for therapy will greatly increase your odds of success. 

 

What is an Entheogen?

An entheogen is a mind-altering substance that helps people develop spiritually. Ketamine causes a profoundly mind-altering experience that expands consciousness, understanding, and connectivity when used with intention in the right therapeutic setting. 

 

Why do some Patients Not Respond to Ketamine? 

Some people do not respond to ketamine treatments. Most often there is an identifiable reason. Some of these reasons include:

-       Abusing substances actively while undergoing therapy (e.g. going home and drinking a bottle or two of wine after therapy)

-       Not enough treatments received (major illness requires more therapy, sometimes > 6 treatments for response)

-       Trauma or Mindset roadblocks that prevent patients from continuing therapy.

-       Some people just don’t respond. This may be due to their underlying biology (estimated < 2%)
