FAQ for 360mind Ketamine Clinic
General Information
Ketamine therapy involves the use of ketamine, a medication traditionally used for anesthesia, in sub-anesthetic doses to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain
Ketamine is believed to work by modulating neurotransmitter pathways in the brain, promoting neuroplasticity, and enhancing communication between neurons. This can help alleviate symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions.

Treatment Process
Ketamine therapy is effective in treating conditions such as major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and chronic pain.
A typical ketamine therapy session lasts about 40 minutes to an hour. However, the entire visit, including pre- and post-treatment evaluations, may take up to two hours.
The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and treatment response. Typically, a series of six sessions over two to three weeks is recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.
Before and After Treatment
