Pioneering Ketamine Therapy: Insights from Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles

We're attempting to transform people, not give them ketamine, and the ketamine is a very important tool in making this transformation happen.
Ever wondered how ketamine is changing the landscape of mental health treatment? In this episode of MINDBEND, Matthew Dunehoo chats with Dr. Steven Mandel and his son, CEO Sam Mandel, the visionaries behind Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles. Founded in 2014, their clinic was among the first to offer ketamine via off-label IV infusion, a practice that has since gained significant traction in the mental health community. Dr.
Mandel, an anesthesiologist with a keen interest in psychology, shares the challenges and breakthroughs of navigating this uncharted territory. From initial skepticism to widespread acceptance, the Mandels recount their journey and the evolving perception of psychedelics in mainstream medicine. Their clinic’s data-driven approach and comprehensive patient assessments ensure that treatments are both safe and effective. One of the most intriguing aspects discussed is the dissociative state induced by ketamine, which allows patients to access and process deep-seated emotions.
This state, combined with integrated therapy, enhances the transformative potential of the treatment. The Mandels emphasize the importance of making these innovative treatments accessible to those suffering from treatment-resistant depression and other mental health conditions. If you're curious about how ketamine is revolutionizing mental health care, this episode offers a compelling look at the science, stories, and successes behind Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles.
