Researchers write “A sample of 11,441 patients was analyzed, At-home, telehealth-supported ketamine administration was largely safe, well-tolerated, and associated with improvement in patients with depression. Strategies for combining psychedelic-oriented therapies with rigorous telehealth models, as explored here, may uniquely address barriers to mental health treatment.” https://psychedelicmentalhealth.net/psychedelic-therapy-cognitive-behavioral-therapy-ketamine-context-competencies/ #ketamine #mentalhealth #psychedelics #ketaminetherapy #harmreduction #psychedelicinstituteproject

Effect of Ketamine on Reward Processing in Depressive Disorders: A Systematic Review of
Neuroimaging Studies (Faisal, et al, 2026) "This systematic review found that ketamine administration is associated with neurofunctional
changes in reward-related circuitry in adults with MDD/TRD, most consistently involving the
ventral striatum/NAc and connected ACC–prefrontal networks. “ https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/cns-spectrums/article/effect-of-ketamine-on-reward-processing-in-depressive-disorders-a-systematic-review-of-neuroimaging-studies/088C187F43710A29CE43B72CB5F74006 #ketamine #depression #mentalhealth #brains #neuroscience #ketaminetherapy

PAINscape-Exploring patient experiences with ketamine for chronic neuropathic pain: A qualitative study (Parakh, et al, 2026) All participants described decreased pain intensity and increased functionality after receiving ketamine treatment. Barriers to ketamine treatment included fragmented health systems and long wait times, along with a struggle for pain validation by health care providers. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41798319/ #ketamine #pain #painmanagement #chronicpain #psychedelics #ketaminetherapy
