PTSD & Trauma

For PTSD refractory to standard psychotherapy (like EMDR or PE) and SSRIs, emerging therapies are showing significant promise.

Primary Interventions

• Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): Off-label use of ketamine combined with intensive psychotherapy.
• MDMA-Assisted Therapy: Currently pending FDA review after highly successful Phase III trials.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is MDMA therapy legal yet? It is currently undergoing FDA review and is not widely legally available outside of trials.
• Does insurance cover KAP? Typically no. KAP is considered an out-of-pocket expense, though superbills may provide partial reimbursement.

Common Mistakes

Underestimating the necessity of integrated psychotherapy. Psychedelics alone without therapeutic integration often yield transient results for trauma.
