Let's Talk

Chronic stress weakens neural connections in the brain over time. Depression actually decreases the number of synapses in the brain.
At-home ketamine therapy works directly to restore these connections.
This releases growth factors, like BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which help make new synaptic connections and pave healthier thought patterns in the brain.

We believe in bringing breakthrough therapies to individuals in an environment they feel safest and most comfortable at: their own home. Better U is improving mental wellness by enhancing brain function and performance through scientifically proven mental health treatments.
