Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in postpartum mood and anxiety disorders: a limited case series

This case series describes the use of ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). The source text frames PMADs as a common and potentially serious challenge in the postpartum period, with impacts on maternal, infant, and family health. The course content appears to center on three retrospective cases in which KAP was added during the first two years postpartum as part of comprehensive care. It discusses the potential utility of KAP for postpartum individuals and considers how psychedelic experiences may relate to symptom treatment. This material is relevant to clinicians, mental health professionals, and other learners interested in postpartum mental health, ketamine-assisted treatment, and psychedelic psychotherapy applications in perinatal care.
