This Podcast from Reverie Mind, a provider of ketamine therapy, explains how ketamine works as a treatment for mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It differs from traditional antidepressants by acting on the glutamate system in the brain, promoting neural connections and increasing brain plasticity. Ketamine infusions allow patients to experience a dissociative state that helps reset the brain and break free from negative thought patterns. Although some clinics emphasize therapy during infusions, Reveriemind highlights that ketamine's primary benefit lies in its biological impact on the brain. While therapy can be helpful, it is not required for the treatment's efficacy. Following an infusion, many patients experience a window of enhanced emotional flexibility, allowing them to process emotions, cope with their condition, and find a sense of well-being. www.reveriemind.com
