As Houston Struggles with Mental Health, Ketamine Wellness Centers Offers Hope

HOUSTON - Dec. 14, 2020 - PRLog -- A well-researched and illuminating article (https://www.understandinghouston.org/topic/health/mental-health#overview), published by Understanding Houston (https://www.understandinghouston.org/) analyzed state-wide data around the prevalence of mental health conditions, as well as the lack of access to therapeutics, clinical treatment centers, and other essential resources that can go a long way in helping to combat the debilitating effects that depression, suicidality, PTSD, and other personality disorders have on the people of Texas, namely Houston.

Framing Houston's Statistics on Mental Health

According to data from 2016's County Health Rankings (Age-Adjusted), Harris County alone tallied 3.6 days for the average number of mentally unhealthy days among adults in a month. Drilling down on the demographics, 26.2% of Harris County women reported five or more days of poor mental health per month, eclipsing the state and federal figures.

The figures on per capita access to mental health services are even starker but the bottom line is that Texas ranks last out of 51 states for mental health access. Focusing on Houston and Harris County, the provider-to-resident ratio is below the rate for Texas as a whole, as well as the nation.

Closing the Gap in Access to Care

These statistics were one of the primary reasons why we opened up Ketamine Wellness Centers – Houston (https://www.ketaminewellnesscenters.com/locations-houston...) in October 2020. As the Clinical Administrator for KWC Houston, I have been tasked with delivering KWC's signature clinical program centered on IV ketamine infusion therapy and our commitment to high quality, compassionate care to the great people of Houston, Texas. We celebrate excellent success rates in the treatment of both mental health (80%) and neuropathic pain (90%) conditions.

Our mental health protocol is designed to combat the most severe effects that depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bi-polar disorder, and suicidal ideation have on the brain. Our chronic pain protocol delivers long-lasting relief to those suffering from neuropathic pain conditions, such as Fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and other pain ailments. Within both protocols, our patients have experienced a reduction or total cessation in their use of antidepressants, mood disorders, and opiate prescription medications.
