We know the journey doesn't always end when you return home from service. Many veterans face invisible wounds, with over 30% experiencing depression or PTSD at some point in their lives. Research shows that traditional treatments are ineffective for many patients, and come with unwanted side effects like weight gain and fatigue.
Joyous mental health treatment is a breakthrough, accessible program pairing prescription low-dose ketamine with therapy-based courses and support, to help you make deep, lasting mental health improvements.
We've treated over 2,280 veterans to date, and over 89% have reported improved depression and anxiety symptoms in their first month on Joyous.

Traditional treatments, while widely prescribed, have shown disappointing efficacy for many patients, especially those with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Ketamine works on an entirely different receptor in the brain, primarily targeting the NMDA receptor which plays a key role in mood regulation.
Research shows that by increasing glutamate in the brain, microdose ketamine treatment can boost neuroplasticity and provide fast relief for anxiety and depression. Joyous patients report feeling an immediate sense of calm and mental spaciousness, allowing them to process underlying emotions and triggers, and even reduce anger and reactivity!
This innovative treatment works safely with most other medications and therapies, providing a powerful tool to rebuild resilience and enhance your overall well-being.
Microdose ketamine treatment has been shown to:
• Provide rapid relief for depression and anxiety symptoms
• Boost resilience to stress
• Reduce impulsive reactions and judgement
• Build new neural pathways & break negative thought patterns
• Enhance receptivity to therapy and mindfulness practices
• Produce a sense of calm and mental spaciousness to process underlying emotions and triggers
Good candidates for the Joyous treatment are people who have tried therapy and/or traditional medications in the past and didn't feel like that was enough or the right kind of treatment for them. People who suffer from depression and anxiety commonly experience relief from our treatment even when other protocols failed.
There is no set timeline, you can participate in our low-dose ketamine treatment long term if you feel it is benefitting you, or you can come off it at any time. Many of our patients have been on the Joyous treatment for years and still have mental health benefits, while others stop when they feel that is right for them.
When/if you decide to come off of the medication, withdrawal symptoms are rare in our clinical setting, and we will provide you with our medical recommendations to ensure that you do not have a bad experience ending treatment. The length of treatment is personal to every patient, and you have complete say over how long you take ketamine.
Unlike traditional treatments, Joyous is designed for patients to "graduate" from treatment when they feel ready. Our program is focused on healing: enhancing neuroplasticity to help you break negative thought loops, learn new coping skills, and developing a new positive mindset to help you navigate life's ups and downs.
Most patients stop taking the medication immediately without any side-effects, and withdrawal symptoms are rare in our clinical setting.
When you're ready to stop, message our Care Team to get a treatment off-boarding form. Once submitted, we'll cancel your subscription and your provider will share instructions and guidance for stopping treatment safely.
As time passes and the ketamine is out of your system, the neuroplasticity benefits may begin to dull, but can be reactivated by starting treatment again.
