Break free from PTSD

‍Ketamine, traditionally used as an anesthetic, has garnered attention for its potential off-label use in treating various mental health conditions including PTSD and trauma.

Neuroplasticity Effects‍

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma can have debilitating effects on mental health, but recent advancements in treatment offer new hope. A recent study among many others, highlights the efficacy of ketamine therapy in treating PTSD and trauma-related symptoms.

The research highlights the potential for ketamine to significantly reduce symptoms of PTSD, including intrusive thoughts, hyperarousal, and avoidance behaviors. By influencing the brain's glutamate system, ketamine can help to reset neural pathways affected by trauma, providing rapid relief and improving emotional regulation.

For individuals suffering from the persistent effects of trauma, low-dose ketamine therapy presents a promising and effective treatment option, offering relief and a path toward recovery. When used as part of a holistic mental health treatment like Joyous, patients are empowered with a "window of tolerance," a period of time where nervous systems are relaxed and neuroplasticity is enhanced, offering a unique and powerful opportunity for patients to learn new skills and coping mechanisms while being able to access emotions and triggers that can be too overwhelming to access otherwise.

High Efficacy in Treatment-Resistant Cases‍

Ketamine therapy has been found to be effective in patients who have not responded to other treatments. The Joyous treatment is a holistic treatment program that utilizes very low doses of ketamine medication paired with curated treatment courses and content that help patients learn valuable skills, form new neural pathways, and learn new ways to be their joyous selves again.

New Mechanisms of Action‍

Ketamine works through a different mechanism than most traditional anxiety treatments, which primarily target the serotonin system. Ketamine modulates the glutamate system, providing an alternative for patients who do not respond to serotonin-based therapies.

Potential for Long-Term Improvement‍

Some studies suggest that repeated administration of low-dose ketamine may have a cumulative effect, leading to prolonged periods of symptom relief. This ongoing research is exploring how ketamine can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes other forms of therapy.
