Transforming Mental Health with Innovation and Compassion

Mind Brain Institute in New Delhi introduces Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT)—a science-backed treatment for depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. KAT is ideal for individuals who haven’t found relief through traditional medication or talk therapy.

What Is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

KAT blends low-dose ketamine administration with psychotherapy in a clinically safe and therapeutically guided environment. Ketamine, initially used as an anesthetic, is now recognized for its rapid antidepressant effects and ability to unlock suppressed emotions, trauma, and deep self-awareness.

At Mind Brain Institute, therapy integrates medical supervision, mindfulness tools, and trauma-focused psychotherapy—offering not just symptom relief, but profound emotional and psychological transformation.

Why Choose Ketamine Therapy?

Fast-Acting Relief:
Unlike antidepressants that take weeks, ketamine can ease symptoms within hours. It’s particularly effective for:

• Treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
• Bipolar depression & major depressive disorder (MDD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) & Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
• Suicidal ideation

Non-Addictive & Clinically Safe:
Ketamine is administered under medical supervision. It’s non-habit-forming and offers healing at a depth comparable to psychedelics—without extended durations.

How Does Ketamine Work?

Ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants—and much faster. Instead of taking weeks, it can create noticeable shifts in mood and brain function within hours, especially for those with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

Here’s how it helps:

1. Promotes Brain Growth and Repair

Depression and trauma can shrink areas of the brain linked to mood and memory. Ketamine stimulates the growth of new neurons and connections, restoring brain flexibility and emotional strength.

2. Boosts Glutamate and BDNF

Ketamine triggers a surge of glutamate—a key brain chemical—which activates receptors that promote healing. This leads to more BDNF, a protein that improves learning, memory, and emotional balance.

3. Guided Dissociation for Healing

Ketamine creates a temporary sense of detachment, helping patients view trauma with more distance and less pain. This “mental reset” makes it easier to break negative thought cycles and access deeper emotional layers.

4. Silences the Inner Critic

It calms the Default Mode Network (DMN), the brain system responsible for overthinking and self-judgment. This gives patients a break from mental noise and allows clarity to emerge.

5. A Model of Fast-Acting Relief

Unlike conventional antidepressants, ketamine targets a different system in the brain and works quickly—offering hope to those in urgent need.

At Mind Brain Institute, ketamine isn’t just medicine—it’s part of a holistic healing journey. Combined with integrative therapy and expert support, it helps patients not only feel better but transform their inner lives.

Why Choose Ketamine Therapy?

Rapid Relief for Mental Health Conditions

KAT offers faster results than most antidepressants—often within hours. It’s especially beneficial for:

• Treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
• Bipolar depression
• Major depressive disorder (MDD)
• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• PTSD and suicidal ideation

Safe, Non-Habit Forming Healing

Ketamine is non-addictive when used in a clinical setting. It provides psychedelic-level insight without the extended duration of plant medicine ceremonies, making it both accessible and effective.

How Ketamine Works

1. Promotes Brain Growth

Ketamine stimulates neurogenesis (new neurons) and synaptogenesis (new connections). This helps repair damage from long-term depression or trauma, especially in areas like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

2. Glutamate and BDNF Activation

By blocking NMDA receptors, ketamine boosts glutamate release. This triggers AMPA receptors and increases BDNF—a protein vital for mood and cognitive health.

3. Dissociation as a Healing Tool

Rather than a side effect, dissociation can provide distance from trauma, allowing patients to view painful experiences with less emotional charge.

4. Resetting the Inner Critic

Ketamine quiets the Default Mode Network (DMN)—the part of the brain responsible for rumination and negative self-talk. This offers patients clarity, peace, and space for new mental patterns.

Our Approach at Mind Brain Institute

We combine ketamine with breathwork, integrative psychotherapy, and yogic wisdom. Each session is held in a calm, private space with trained professionals ensuring comfort and emotional safety.

The Ketamine Journey: What to Expect

1. Evaluation & Suitability

Each patient undergoes a thorough psychiatric assessment. Not everyone is a candidate—people with certain cardiovascular or psychotic conditions may be excluded.

2. Preparation Session

Before your first ketamine session, you’ll meet your therapist to set intentions, learn grounding tools, and understand the altered states you may experience.

3. Ketamine Session

• Administered via IV or lozenge
• Duration: 90–120 minutes
• Guided by a trained therapist

4. Integration Therapy

Insights from your session are processed through integrative therapy. We help turn revelations into real-world emotional and behavioral shifts using:

• Trauma-focused therapy
• Somatic release practices
