At-home, telehealth-supported ketamine therapy for veterans with depression, anxiety, and PTSD: Findings from a real-world, observational study

With traditional treatments, people might not notice improvements for up to 2 months—that is, if they see improvements at all. Because of ketamine’s fast-acting nature, most Mindbloom clients report symptom relief after just 4 sessions, and some after their very first session.

—Kristin Arden, clinical director

Side effects

95%

experienced no side effects with Mindbloom treatment1

Many come to Mindbloom frustrated by side effects of their SSRIs (weight gain, emotional flatness, loss of libido). Our peer-reviewed studies demonstrate the high tolerability profile of this treatment. The mild effects that may occur typically clear within hours. That's why people finish their programs, and why Mindbloom’s care model actually works.

—DR. LEO VANDO, MEDICAL director
