Information for patients

All information for patients in one place.

We are one of the very few ketamine clinics that utilize the expertise and experience of in-house mental health professionals, from the patient screening process all the way through to post-treatment support. Combining the guidance of mental health professionals with our medical expertise allows us to best tailor the clinical treatment plan to each patient.

Patient at the clinic

״”I am currently preparing for the ninth and last treatment in the series. Before I started the treatment, I went through many years of anxiety and depression, years in which it was very difficult for me to do basic things such as work, run a household and be in contact with friends and family. There were also suicidal thoughts. I put things off for years that I should have done.
Since the treatment I have almost no procrastination, I’m back to wanting to be in contact with people, it’s much easier for me to work. No suicidal thoughts at all.

It also turned out that my cat died during the treatment (around the time of the fourth-fifth treatment), a cat that had been with me for 13 years and was my best friend. I clearly felt how the therapy helps me cope with the loss. Of course I still experienced a great deal of pain but it is clear to me that I digested the grief in a much healthier way compared to if it had happened before the treatment.
You can definitely say it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself, I highly recommend it.”

Patient at the clinic

“I started my treatment in Ketamind exactly one year ago, after years of struggling with suicidality and major depressive disorder.
The Ketamine treatments changed my life completely. Slowly with time, I could feel a shift in my mind and body. I am now able to function in day to day activities that i once was too sick to do, like eat regularly, sleep, socialize, not to mention hold down a job. It gave me hope and a push forward that no other treatment, medication or therapist managed to give me.”

Patient at the clinic

“I never felt so good before in my life – all my thoughts started to be positive thoughts, there’s no cloudiness in my brain, I was able to see all my goals I want to accomplish more than ever before.”

Patient at the clinic

“After the treatment, I feel like my brain is actually healing itself, it’s unbelievable, I thought it something that would never happen.”

Patient at the clinic

“The treatment here has been amazing for me, I feel like this KetaMind clinic has been changing my life”

Patient at the clinic

“The doctors were absolutely great, they were personable, they really had one on one discussion with me, I felt the expertise from the moment I walked in the room.”
