Short spoken clip (YouTube #shorts) where Dr. Joy Kong describes ketamine’s therapeutic effects: it increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), promotes neuronal regeneration, alters brain waves, and can rapidly reduce entrenched PTSD symptoms—sometimes after one or two sessions.
One of the benefits is that it can, you know, promotes this overall repair capability for the brain because it's increased brain derived neurotropic factor. It, you know, promotes regeneration of the neurons, actually changes your brain waves. So I'm astounded by what ketamine can do because I could be doing psychotherapy with the same person for years and giving them medications, and I couldn't put a dent on their PTSD symptoms because that wiring is set in. It's almost like it's etched in their brain. If ketamine is able to reverse that, sometimes within one session, two sessions, this is revolutionary.
