How ketamine therapy helped this Canadian veteran
After a 25 year military career, including two tours of Afghanistan, former master corporal Scott Atkinson struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. After finding some relief in medical cannabis, he became interested in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Then, he went through six sessions of ketamine therapy at our Toronto clinic. “It’s changed my life,” he says. “It’s given me a way to go now. I’m not as angry all the time. The anxiety isn’t there all the time. It’s better with my family and with my kids. A year ago I was a completely different person.”
