Video: Karin’s depression treatment at the OVID Practice Berlin (SWR1 – “What’s good about … drugs?”)

Karins Depressionsbehandlung in OVID

Pharmacologically based long-term therapies are often the treatment of choice for depression. A new approach to helping depressed people is (psychedelic)-augmented psychotherapy, which uses, among other things, mind-expanding substances such as ketamine. The altered states of consciousness induced in this way are then therapeutically integrated. This treatment method, which is still relatively new in Germany, is the focus of Dr. med. Andrea Jungaberle and her colleagues in their OVID Clinic in Berlin. This form of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy differs fundamentally from the purely neurobiologically arguing ketamine treatments at many university clinics and some “ketamine practices”. It is a psychotherapy that is extended and intensified by ketamine (and in the future also serotonergic psychedelics such as psilocybin).
