The psychedelic renaissance has taken the research community by storm, but psilocybin, DMT, MDMA, and other therapies remain in development. Ketamine is the only widely available psychedelic therapy that the FDA approves to treat depression and suicidal ideations. As a result, investors may want to start there for near-term opportunities.
Let’s take a look at ketamine’s expanding therapeutic potential and new approaches to enhancing mental health treatments.
Ketamine’s Growing Promise
Ketamine is a popular medication for starting and maintaining anesthesia—a trance-like state providing pain relief, sedation and amnesia. Since it increases blood pressure and preserves breathing airways, the drug is commonplace in emergencies and warzones where patients are at risk for hypotension while breathing equipment may be unavailable.
More recently, researchers have been studying ketamine for its antidepressant properties. For example, intravenous ketamine infusions in patients with treatment-resistant depression result in mood improvements within four hours, reaching a peak in 24 hours. In addition, a significant minority of patients go on to experience relief for 30 days or more.
In March 2019, the FDA approved an esketamine nasal spray, in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, to treat depression in adults who have tried other antidepressant medicines but have not benefited from them. According to FutureWise Research, the global treatment-resistant depression market could surpass $1 billion by the end of 2026.
In August 2020, the FDA expanded the approval to cover patients experiencing suicidal ideations. While existing drugs take weeks to work, esketamine can reduce symptoms within 24 hours after the first dose, making it far more productive. And Coherent Market Insights believes that the suicide prevention market could reach $5.5 billion by 2027.
Data Bridge Market Research projects that the psychedelics market as a whole will grow at a 16.3% compound annual growth rate between 2020 and 2027, reaching nearly $7 billion in annual sales by the end of the forecast period. Companies using ketamine as a stepping stone in the industry could be best positioned to capitalize over the long term.
Next-Generation Therapies
KetamineOne Capital Ltd. (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (Frankfurt: MY0) is building a network of North American medical clinics focusing on ketamine-enhanced treatments. Thus far, the company has acquired 16 clinics across North America (15 in Canada and one in the United States) with letters of intent to acquire an additional three clinics, making it one of the most mature companies in the space.
The company is enhancing these ketamine-based therapies through the use of next-generation technologies. For instance, the company recently signed an exclusive agreement to license OVR Tech LLC’s INHALE Wellness Platform, which combines scent-enabled technology with immersive virtual reality to deepen a patient’s psychedelic treatment experience.

Another example is the company’s partnership with the Health Canada-approved NeuroCatch Platform. As part of that deal, the company is leveraging the breakthrough technology in its Integrated Rehab and Performance clinic in Victoria, BC, to measure brain function in injured veterans and customize therapies to assist them.
The company’s recent acquisition of KGK Science Inc. also adds a contract research division capable of performing cutting-edge clinical research. In fact, the company is already working with five unique clients to conduct psychedelic-driven studies, including two ongoing clinical trials leveraging its network of vertically-integrated clinics.
Combining virtual reality, wearables, and digital therapeutics could help differentiate the company’s medical clinics, while the facilities themselves provide a valuable patient base to advance psychedelic research. The move also enables the company to quickly pivot into other psychedelic substances as they become legal.
Looking Ahead
Ketamine is quickly becoming mainstream for treatment-resistant depression and suicidal ideations. In addition to becoming a premier operator of ketamine clinics across North America, KetamineOne Capital Ltd. (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (Frankfurt: MY0) is leveraging new technologies to enhance psychedelic experiences and therapeutic outcomes.
