First synthesized in 1962, ketamine is a psychoactive drug used as an anesthetic in the U.S. since 1970 and listed on the World Health Organization's Essential Medicines. In the last two decades, it's been employed off-label in sub-anesthetic doses to effectively treat chronic pain, depression, and other mental health issues due to its quick-acting antidepressant properties.
Although a single dose of ketamine offers temporary antidepressant effects, repeated treatments have a cumulative impact, significantly reducing symptoms in about 30-60% of patients with treatment-resistant depression.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative therapy approach for treating various mental health issues such as depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and addiction. This method combines ketamine administration with psychotherapy and other integrative treatments to enhance the therapeutic experience and extend the beneficial effects of ketamine.
Ketamine, in low doses, aids psychotherapy by temporarily easing psychological barriers, allowing for deeper self-exploration and therapeutic progress. At moderate doses, its psychedelic effects can lead to profound, transformative experiences that offer clarity, spiritual depth, and a heightened sense of interconnectedness in therapy.
