Anxiety is a loop.
Ketamine works differently.
Glutamate, not serotonin. A different system than antidepressants.

Treatment starts low and rises in small steps only as tolerated, until your clinician finds your lowest effective dose. You check in daily, and the dose only moves when your clinician approves it.
Most patients come for depression, anxiety and PTSD; many also with chronic stress and burnout, high-functioning anxiety or depression, grief and trauma, OCD, and chronic pain.
Psychosis or bipolar I, active suicidal intent, uncontrolled high blood pressure, seizure history, a history of stroke or brain injury, pregnancy or breastfeeding, active or past substance use disorder. A licensed clinician screens out patients with any of these.

Questions people actually ask
Got a question we didn’t cover? Email [email protected] or text +1 (844) 774-0909.
No. The Joyous dose is designed not to: you stay coherent and aware throughout. Most people describe it as calming rather than intoxicating.
Our low-dose protocol is designed to keep you fully present and coherent during treatment. After about 15 minutes you may notice a subtle calm and possibly some lightheadedness that quickly dissipates. Over the first weeks your dose is adjusted from your daily check-ins, so if the feeling isn’t right it will get adjusted.
Antidepressants are generally described as taking four to eight weeks to work. In the Joyous cohort the average depression score had dropped 38% by the end of week one, and the typical patient’s score was cut in half within about 16 days. That is a median; reaching the remission range took a median of 48 days.
At-home ketamine treatment rests on three things: a low daily dose designed not to produce a high, screening by a licensed clinician before you start, and daily check-ins so the dose only moves when your clinician approves it. You stay coherent and aware throughout; the most common side effect in Joyous outcomes data was drowsiness (about 1 in 4 patients in week one, fewer than 1 in 5 by week six). Do not drive for 1 to 2 hours after a dose.
Yes. Ketamine is a federally controlled prescription medication: legal when prescribed by a licensed clinician, and prescribed off-label for depression, anxiety and PTSD. Joyous clinicians prescribe it in 32 states.
Many patients continue their existing antidepressant during treatment. Your clinician reviews your current medications at your video assessment and decides what is compatible. Bring your medication list.
No, but many people are. 38% of Joyous patients were in talk therapy at the same time, rising to 44% among those with moderate or worse symptoms. If therapy is out of reach, the Joyous patient app includes curated treatment courses and resources you can work through on your own.
Joyous costs $129 a month on the plan with a three-month commitment, or $159 a month with no commitment, which drops to $129 after three months. Both include the medication.
Insurance does not cover Joyous. HSA and FSA funds are accepted.
