Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative treatment that combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, with psychotherapy to address mental health challenges. Ketamine works by interacting with the brain’s glutamate system, promoting neuroplasticity and creating opportunities for profound psychological breakthroughs. KAP sessions involve administering ketamine in a safe, supportive setting, followed by guided psychotherapy to help patients explore and integrate their experiences.
What disorders can KAP Treat?
KAP has shown efficacy in treating several mental health conditions, including:
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD
Helps reduce chronic worry and anxiety symptoms.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Aids in processing and alleviating trauma.
Suicidality
Rapidly reduces suicidal ideation, offering an essential lifeline in acute cases.
How does KAP work?
Ketamine induces a state of dissociation, which allows individuals to step back from entrenched mental patterns. In this altered state, therapy becomes more effective as patients gain new perspectives on their thoughts, emotions, and memories. The neuroplasticity facilitated by ketamine supports long-term healing by making the brain more receptive to change.
