"It was as if I suddenly had room to breathe again"

Vasco lived a reality marked by insecurity, feelings of guilt and disturbing dreams, with direct consequences for his mental health and interpersonal relationships. Ketamine treatment was a milestone in his life. His stress and anxiety, which used to be daily, decreased significantly.

The desire to regain emotional stability and find inner peace led Vasco (fictitious name) to make an appointment for a medical assessment at The Clinic of Change. He brought with him a childhood marked by bullying at school, feelings of devaluation and family conflicts. He therefore decided to give ketamine-assisted treatment a try, in the context of psychotherapy.

"From the very first session, I noticed a big difference: the stress and anxiety that accompanied me on a daily basis decreased significantly. It was as if I suddenly had room to breathe again."

With a university degree and a stable career, the obstacles to normal development had affected her mental health, as well as her interpersonal relationships. Her reality was characterized by disturbing dreams, insecurity, lack of self-esteem and feelings of guilt.

"The ketamine treatment represented a very important milestone in my life. But what really made the difference was that I wasn't alone in this process - the treatment, combined with the team's attentive and professional support, helped me regain my well-being and find hope for better days."

This testimony of courage and transformation is an example of the impact that innovative approaches, when accompanied by competent, specialized and humane clinical teams, can have on the lives of those struggling with mental disorders.
