Spravato can be an effective treatment when other options haven’t worked.

*covered by most insurances. Spravato is not appropriate for everyone and some individuals may not respond to Spravato*

Hear how one Spravato patient went from cycling through 10 antidepressants to building a life he loves — running marathons, writing novels, and surfing. Ben Leopold shares how the combination of deep therapeutic work and Spravato treatment finally broke through his treatment-resistant depression.

Recovery is evolving.

In addition to established treatments such as CBT-E, DBT, nutritional rehabilitation, and medication management, emerging research is exploring:

• Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for comorbid depression
• Psychedelic-assisted therapy (under clinical investigation)
• Neuromodulation approaches such as TMS
• Advanced trauma-focused therapies

Eating disorders are complex biopsychosocial conditions. Treatment should be equally comprehensive.

MindKYnd provides individualized psychiatric care grounded in evidence and informed by innovation.

Many individuals struggling with eating disorders appear “high functioning” on the outside. Suffering is often hidden.

This week, we encourage honest conversations, early screening, and access to psychiatric care that treats the whole person — not just the symptoms.

Compassionate, integrated mental health care is available locally.

PTSD affects the nervous system, sleep, mood, and daily functioning — and treatment decisions should be individualized.

In states with medical cannabis programs, some individuals with PTSD may qualify following a clinical evaluation and certification process in accordance with state law.

MindKYnd provides education-focused medical evaluations to help patients understand treatment pathways and eligibility.

OCD isn’t about willpower, insight, or effort.

For many people, obsessive thoughts and compulsive patterns persist despite therapy, ERP, or standard medications. That’s not a personal failure — it reflects the rigid neural loops that drive OCD.

Emerging research suggests ketamine may temporarily reduce the intensity of obsessive thoughts for some individuals by modulating glutamate pathways, creating a window where symptoms feel more flexible and therapeutic work may be more effective.

Ketamine is not a cure for OCD. At MindKYnd, it is considered selectively and only as part of structured, evidence-based psychiatric care that emphasizes screening, monitoring, and integration with ongoing treatment.

Some uses may be off-label and treatment is typically not covered by insurance. Eligibility is determined through clinical evaluation.

When anxiety is rooted in trauma, it isn’t something you can “think your way out of.”

Trauma-related anxiety and PTSD are driven by nervous system dysregulation — often showing up as hypervigilance, panic, emotional reactivity, sleep disruption, or a constant sense of threat. These symptoms reflect physiology, not weakness.

For some individuals, ketamine may help reduce certain trauma-related symptoms by modulating brain pathways involved in fear and stress response. When used appropriately, it may create space for stabilization and engagement in ongoing treatment.

At MindKYnd, ketamine is offered selectively within a trauma-informed, medically supervised psychiatric framework that prioritizes safety, careful screening, monitoring, and integration into a broader treatment plan.

Some uses may be off-label and treatment is typically not covered by insurance. Eligibility is determined through clinical evaluation.

When anxiety doesn’t shut off, it’s rarely “just worry.”

Chronic generalized anxiety is often driven by persistent nervous system overactivation — leaving people feeling tense, restless, and unable to relax despite therapy, lifestyle changes, or standard medications.

For some individuals who haven’t found adequate relief, ketamine may be considered as part of a structured psychiatric approach. Emerging evidence suggests it may help reduce anxiety symptoms by targeting glutamate pathways involved in stress and threat processing.

At MindKYnd, ketamine is never offered casually. Treatment involves careful screening, conservative dosing, ongoing monitoring, and integration into comprehensive psychiatric care.

Some uses may be off-label and treatment is typically not covered by insurance. Eligibility is determined through clinical evaluation.

Ketamine is not a shortcut — and it isn’t meant to replace therapy, insight, or effort.

For some individuals, ketamine may create a temporary window where symptoms feel less rigid and therapeutic work becomes more accessible. What matters most is how that window is supported through integration, structure, and comprehensive psychiatric care.

At MindKYnd, ketamine is considered selectively and used as part of a broader treatment plan focused on long-term stability, not quick fixes.

Some uses may be off-label and treatment is typically not covered by insurance. Eligibility is determined through clinical evaluation.

Considering ketamine?

Ketamine treatment is not a miracle cure, and it isn’t right for everyone. In medical settings, it is carefully evaluated, dosed, and monitored — and used selectively for individuals who have not found adequate relief with traditional treatments.

Some uses of ketamine in psychiatry are off-label, meaning they are not FDA-approved for certain mental health conditions. Ketamine treatment is typically not covered by insurance, and eligibility is determined through comprehensive evaluation.

At MindKYnd, ketamine is offered within a structured psychiatric framework that prioritizes education, safety, informed consent, and integration — not hype.

Informed care leads to better outcomes.

Psychiatric medication can be an important foundation — but for many people, it works best when paired with additional support.

At MindKYnd, integrative psychiatry combines evidence-based medication management with attention to sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, therapy, and daily functioning. This approach helps improve resilience, reduce relapse, and support long-term stability — not just short-term symptom relief.

Medication isn’t about doing less.
It’s part of doing enough.

Care is individualized, collaborative, and rooted in science.

When the nervous system is overwhelmed, symptoms don’t respond to willpower alone.

Chronic stress and trauma can keep the body in a constant state of fight-or-flight, contributing to anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

At MindKYnd, integrative psychiatry includes trauma-informed care that focuses on nervous system regulation — alongside evidence-based psychiatric treatment. The goal is stabilization and resilience, not just symptom suppression.

Healing begins when the body feels safe enough to regulate.
