Dallas, TX - Ketamine has been in the news recently, but how much does the general public really know about it? Dr. Lisa Bassili of On The Mend Recovery knows all about it from research and practice. “Ketamine is a medication I use in my anesthesia practice every day. After researching its healing effects in mental health illness, I knew I needed to be a part of the revolution,” shares Dr. Bassili. “That’s why I started On the Mend Recovery. While ketamine is most famous for being abused in club settings, in therapeutic settings with very small doses, it can transform a person’s life.” Ketamine therapy is a small IV infusion based on weight that lasts 40 minutes. “During the infusion, most people feel a slight euphoria. We don’t want them to disassociate or disconnect; rather, want them to be present and aware of their surroundings and what’s going on. The objective is to lift patients out of negative feelings, which is nothing like ‘K-hole’ where people are abusing the medication in club settings,” explains Dr. Bassili. “The brain is like a muscle that we have to train. Ketamine therapy actually regrows the happy neuron tracks in the brain, otherwise known as neuroplasticity. When we’re having healthy, happy thoughts and feelings with ketamine in our system, ketamine actually helps regrow neurons to map those healthy, happy feelings in the amygdala of the prefrontal cortex. The end result is patients walk away with new neural pathways to process those happy, positive feelings. “Regardless, I am dedicated to this practice as the results are very exciting. I love what I’m doing for my patients,” shares Dr. Bassili/ For more information please visit https://onthemendtx.com/
