I have suffered with PTSD, Trauma, depression most of my life due to abuse. I had tried many treatment centres, but nothing helped if it wasn't for Ketamind their treatment, kindness, caring staff and understanding. I don't think I would still be standing. Thank you to everyone at Ketamind Bedfordview and Bryanston.

Sure, here is the corrected text:

I flew from Germany to Ketamind specifically for the infusion. So far, after the infusions, my depression has been completely erased. As someone struggling with migraines and headaches, I can say that the ketamine has also helped with this.
A very special thanks to all the staff, especially to Jordan and the two nurses. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the nurses' names, but they were just amazing, lively, and overall super friendly. You could tell that the nurses had hearts of gold. As for Jordan, thank you for your quick responses to all the emails I sent inquiring about the treatment beforehand. I received much better service from you than I would have here in Germany. It was totally worth the flight over.
I am already missing all of you at Ketamind. I wish you all the best, and I hope to see you soon when I’m in South Africa again. Take care!
Ketamine infusion therapy has changed my life in the best possible way, and I cannot express my gratitude enough to the amazing people at KetaMIND Bedfordview for starting me on this journey. From the clinic manager to the doctors to the attending nurses, have been absolutely phenomenal and have been by my side every step of the way. I highly encourage anyone struggling with mood disorders to explore ketamine. It truly is a game-changer.
The ketamine therapy for depression works wonders. It is live changing on so many levels. You might have to face your fears while under deep therapy, but you will emerge a different person. Always know that nothing can hurt the soul and that the soul dictates the universe and not the other way round. Their work is so important.

I am due to my sixth session on Saturday. And I am going to continue and maintain treatment plan.
I wish I knew about this treatment a long time ago. No one infusion has been the same - compartmentalizing what needs to be healed, playing a vital role in facing parts of me that I have shied away from. It is not just a place, and I am not just a mental health patient - the stigma does not exist - it is a safe space, a sanctuary that encourages and promotes vulnerability to be exactly who I am while healing from who I used to be. A have a spring in my step again - I finally feel ALIVE and that I am living, not just surviving. I have spoken to so many people about it and have encouraged them to explore the treatment. I leave there with a sense of warmth and overwhelming gratitude. I am excited for what's to come - my story will be shared soon. Thank you
I have been receiving Ketamine infusion therapy from the KetaMIND Clinic in Bedfordview for the last 6 months. I believe it has been the only therapy that has helped bring me away from the edge. I was hanging over the edge, clinging on for dear life for the most part of last year (2023) My depression had pushed me to the point of almost no return and where my thoughts had imprisoned me in a cell of no hope. All I could think of was how each day was going to be my last day. I was then asked to try Ketamine therapy for treatment resistant depression. I did the 6 initial infusions and after about the third one, I started noticing a difference in my deathly thought process. It was not in the forefront of my mind anymore. After the sixth infusion, things shifted quite dramatically for me - I had more motivation, I could get through my days better and the suicidal ideation was far less. I can honestly say that it has made a huge difference to my life. I now have maintenance Ketamine infusions every month and it certainly helps keep me away from the edge. All the staff are very caring and really make you feel very comfortable. They also take the time to get to know you. I would highly recommend this therapy for anyone who is struggling with severe depression.
Embarking on a journey with Ketamind Bedfordview in May 2022 for ketamine infusions has been nothing short of life-changing for me. Battling depression for years, this treatment has marked a turning point, offering me a renewed sense of hope and well-being that I hadn't thought possible. The warmth and professionalism of the staff, especially Dr. Stewart and Dr. Amod, have made each visit not just a treatment session but a genuinely pleasant experience. The entire process, from start to finish, is handled with such care and expertise that I leave feeling remarkably better after each session. I wholeheartedly recommend Ketamind Bedfordview to anyone struggling with depression or anxiety; it's been a transformative experience for me, and it could be for you too.

KetaMIND Bedfordview has been a safe and healing space for me for a long time now. Going once a month, I can guarantee the staff there (doctors, nurses and receptionists) are phenomenal, kind and reassuring and you are treated with 10 star service. You are not just another patient there, they get to know you and they care about you, as an individual.
Ketamine infusions have turned my whole world around and I couldn't recommend it enough! It's safe and you are monitored continuously via many methods; pulse oximetry, ECG and blood pressure. You are never left alone and someone is always watching over you.
Would recommend highly to anyone in need 🌸

On the 23rd of September 2020 "I crashed". I, have been on depression medication for approximately 19 years. I, was coping very well a specially the last 6 yrs without any setbacks.
My Psychiatrist Dr Maria Dobreva suggested that I, should go for an Ketamine Infusion and gave me a document to read:, Ketamine Clinics of South Africa - All about Ketamine Infusions for Mood Disorders - Information for patients".
I, took a leap of faith and made my first appointment at KCSA Hilton Branch - Dr Allan Howard. I, was only going to book for two infusions
as it is expensive and my medical aid did not pay for the treatment.
I, ended up completing the full course of 6 treatments.
" I, saw myself as this car that was reliable and safe doing everything that was expected of me and more. My mileage was high and I, crashed. I, ended up on the scrap yard. Someone walked passed and had a look at me and saw potential. Slowly the dent's was repaired and old "parts was replaced with new ones. I, was a reliable car again and not any car but a
Ferrari a red one. My tank was full of petrol and ready to roll."
My 1st and 2 infusion was scary as I, mostly saw the colours black, grey and white. I, was also subconsciously sorting through problems and solving it. My 3rd infusion I, started to see the light and hope and I, knew I was not alone in this, God was with me and I was praising Him. On my 4th infusion I dealt with the death of my father and how I felt. I, woke up crying and felt so much better as I knew I had to let go. On my 5th infusion I, was working on myself "how to put the smile back on my face"
My 6th and last infusion I knew I have completed the full circle. I mostly felt alive and ready to run. I, was full of love for my husband and girls and I knew I wanted to live. I was alive.
Today is my first week without a ketamine infusion.
I, am doing bible study in the mornings, listening to motivation speakers and doing a little bit of exercise (which I normally hate). I have energy and doing house chores. The best news I don't feel like I have to go and do shopping to feel better.
The environment at the ketamine clinic was very warm and welcoming.
The secretary, nurse and Dr. Allan Howard ( he explains, listens and you know you are not just a number)they made you feel safe. This is definitely a winning team.
I also know that I could go for top - ups.
To the staff at Hilton Ketamine Clinic, Thank you, Thank you
To my husband for standing by me thank you. He is now convinced that
after my infusions when I look at him, I see Brad Pitt. LOL
Thank you God for placing all these lovely people on my path.
Amen
