Why Ketamine Could Be the Key to Unlocking Empathy and Connection
In a world increasingly defined by disconnection and isolation, the potential of ketamine to enhance empathy and foster social bonds is a promising breakthrough. Recent research suggests that ketamine, traditionally known as a dissociative psychedelic, may function as an entactogen—facilitating deeper human connection and understanding. Studies in both humans and rodents have demonstrated its ability to heighten social awareness and empathy, with implications for treating conditions like depression and PTSD. At Kadelyx Health, we harness ketamine’s empathogenic properties in group therapy settings, creating transformative healing experiences that reintroduce the power of community into modern medicine.
