Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

What Is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy 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.

    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. Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is ideal for individuals who haven’t found relief through traditional medication or talk therapy.

    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.

    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.
