What is Ketamine?
Since 1970, Ketamine has been a legal and safe FDA-approved medication that has shown to be effective for various mental health issues. Ketamine helps individuals separate their mind from “stuck” negative thought patterns and feelings while promoting new emotions and ideas that have been otherwise difficult to connect with. Individuals often experience mood-enhancing effects within 1-2 hours of administration.
