An Official Statement from TARA Mind Chief Medical Officer Richard Nockowitz, M.D. “Simply put, TARA Mind has created the most responsible and affordable access to the safest and most personalized delivery of IV Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) available for individuals whose mental health conditions do not improve with traditional treatments. Recently, there’s been inaccurate information circulating about IV-Ketamine Assisted Therapy,? creating misperceptions about the safety and benefit of this treatment when delivered responsibly. In fact, decades of real-world experience with thousands of patients treated at the most prestigious academic medical centers and treatment facilities has shown that this therapy is extraordinarily safe, life-changing, and even life-saving. Like any other medical treatment, IV Ketamine-Assisted Therapy should always be delivered in a monitored medical setting by trained, licensed clinicians. When done this way, it is unquestionably safer and more effective for depression, suicidality, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and even substance use disorders, than other currently available treatments. We have a collective responsibility to differentiate between the medically-supervised administration of this highly beneficial treatment and its unfortunate misuse without responsible medical supervision.” #TARAMind #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #HR #WorkplaceWellness

How do you handle challenging patients? “Challenging” meaning depressed/flat affect, passive aggressive, won’t stop telling what the last doctor said, mad that no one has given them answers - IYKYK ?? I was told by a colleague once, “Vanessa, when it comes to challenging patients, it’s like a barbed wire fence and then it’s like you lay down on the fence and then we all walk across on your back! Thank you!” ?? Here are some steps I commonly take but I’d love to hear what you do/how you handle these patients! 1. Take your time: posture and body language convey that attention is on them. I try not to fidget, crack knuckles, doodle on my paper. 2. Listen: even though I may have the diagnosis already figured out or a number of specific questions I want to ask, first I listen. I believe a big part of a happy patient is that they feel heard. 3. Encourage: point out good/normal things with their exam and then ask a question. “You are moving the wrist well. Does that hurt?” Or something like “It sounds like you have already tried a lot of things to help with the pain.” 4. Teach: explain anatomy or the diagnosis/DDX using analogies the patient will understand BUT do not attempt to explain everything. I usually use a phrase like “We are going to start putting together the pieces of the puzzle as we order these tests.” * Empathy is not a step but is woven in throughout all this interaction. * Avoid implying or saying “This is all in your head.” Though we may think it, it is our duty to figure out if there something we can treat or help with. Please share below if you think I should add /modify this list!!! (I am thinking of creating a handout for students) #healthcareeducation #challenging #howtohandlethedifficultpatient

Joyous Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Bobbi Leben, recently sat down with Dr. Drew on Health Uncensored to talk about the Joyous microdose mental health treatment and how it’s being used as a breakthrough treatment for patients struggling with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Ketamine was first FDA approved in 1970 as a dissociative anesthetic, and is on the World Health Organization’s list of Essential Medicines. In recent decades, it has been shown to help patients struggling with mental health conditions, even patients with treatment-resistant depression. On average, over 89% of Joyous patients report improved depression and anxiety symptoms in their first month of treatment with continued improvements over the duration of treatment. We’re dedicated to making this life-changing treatment as accessible and as safe as possible for patients to take from the comfort of their home. Many ketamine treatments cost thousands of dollars, making it inaccessible to patients and communities who truly need it. The Joyous program costs $129/month and with no monthly commitment. Patients work with licensed medical providers and have access to our Care Team via text or email, have a community of patients to support them, and we provide curated treatment courses and at-home therapy based practices designed to help patients build a new mindset, build new neural pathways, and process underlying emotions for lasting mental health improvements.
