For so long, we have been under the heavy blanket of pain, depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Some of us can’t remember what it feels like to be “normal.” Since our ketamine infusions, things have changed; the blanket has been lifted! Ketamine therapy is working, so now what?
DetailsKetamine Wellness Centers (KWC) the largest ketamine therapy provider in the United States, announces two new partnerships with the Veterans Affairs Community Care Networks (VA-CCN) of Illinois and Minnesota. The partnership will allow KWC to offer ketamine treatments to veterans at no out-of-pocket cost at the KWC locations in Chicago, IL, and Minneapolis, MN.
DetailsPumpkin-spiced everything is upon us! It’s hard to believe the holidays are right around the corner. Over the last 11 years, I have had the opportunity to share some announcements as Ketamine Wellness Centers grew and changed. Once again I have the privilege to announce one of our biggest changes to date.
DetailsKetamine is one of the most widely used and safest anesthetics in the world according to the World Health Organization who list it as an essential medicine. Researchers at Yale have been studying low-dose ketamine since 2000 in controlled clinic settings for patients with severe depressions unresponsive to other antidepressants.
DetailsAnd just like that, Fall is here. As we transition from long hot days to shorter cooler days, some people may find themselves feeling more anxious and depressed. Lower levels of serotonin from the reduction of exposure to sunlight can be one of the causes.
DetailsKetamine can provide rapid and remarkable benefits which can be sustained with periodic maintenance infusions plus a comprehensive treatment plan. That’s where Facilitated Treatment Support comes in. We talked with expert Health & Wellness Coordinator Kayla Camp to help demystify treatment support and answer real questions from real patients.
DetailsSuicide is a growing public health crisis with limited treatment options. Fewer than half of all patients feel any relief at all from typical first-line medications and, while there is an alarming increase in suicidality among young people, some studies show little benefit from first-line medications in adolescents. All first-line antidepressants carry a boxed warning of an actual increased risk of suicide.
DetailsSuicide and mental health awareness are discussed now more than ever, but the stigma is still deeply rooted within our society. Ending that stigma will take time but the first step is to talk openly about it. Whether you are suicidal or wondering if someone you love is suicidal, speak up, reach out, just ask!
