“My mental health was in free fall. Ketamine lifted me back up.” 💙

That’s how one woman describes her journey in this article from Oprah Daily.

After living with chronic pain, autoimmune disease, and depression, she turned to off-label ketamine therapy. She describes how six IV treatments helped her regain stability, self-compassion, and a sense of hope.

At PAX Institute, we see this every day - patients who have felt stuck for years finally finding a new path forward. With compassionate guidance, medical expertise, and continuity of care, healing becomes possible.

If you or someone you know is navigating treatment-resistant depression, chronic pain, or emotional trauma, this story might bring a fresh perspective.

Paralyzed by chronic pain and depression, a beauty executive found relief through psychedelic treatment.

Spravato® (Esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray designed to help treat depression - especially when traditional antidepressants haven’t provided enough relief. It works differently than typical medications, targeting NMDA receptors in the brain to help restore balance and improve mood.

At PAX Institute, our team carefully administers Spravato® in a safe, supportive environment to help you on your path toward healing. 💙

You don’t have to face depression alone. Reach out today to see if Spravato might be right for you.

🧠 Our brains are wired to remember stress more easily than joy. That’s why taking a moment each day to acknowledge something positive - big or small - can help gently shift the way we feel over time. It could be a laugh, a small accomplishment, or a moment of clarity. Even one positive moment is worth holding onto.

At PAX Institute, we support your mental health with immediate psychiatric care and innovative treatment options like Ketamine and Spravato.

Healing is never “all or nothing.” Small progress is still progress.

Starting to feel those winter blues set in yet? You’re not alone.

As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, it’s common to feel a little less energized or upbeat. Here are a few gentle ways to support your mental health this season:

☀️ Light exposure: Try spending 15 minutes by a sunny window each day, or even consider a light therapy lamp!
🚶‍♂️ Movement: Gentle exercise boosts mood - even short walks matter.
👥 Connection: Schedule time with loved ones to counter isolation.
📆 Anticipation: Plan an event or an activity that you can look forward to!
🍎 Nourishment: Stay hydrated and eat balanced meals to give your body what it needs to feel its best.
💬 Reach out for support: If your winter blues feel overwhelming or persistent this season, talking with a mental health professional can make a real difference.
