Ketamine is increasingly used to treat suicidal depression, treatment resistant depression (TRD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Until now there has been no unified entity organized around delivering consistent outpatient care for suicidal depression, TRD and PTSD that combines pharmaceutical therapy, FDA approved and proven medical technologies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), digital therapeutics and access to clinical trial protocols for the newest potential treatments, delivered by properly licensed medical professionals to optimize care of people with these conditions. Collectively, these conditions represent a crisis that results in the death of someone around the globe every minute. HOPE aims to bring a unified, patient-centric and science-based approach to the care of patients and their families. "HOPE is dedicated to providing an accessible platform to help caregivers address the critical needs of those suffering from suicidal thoughts, TRD, PTSD and related challenges. We are delighted to take the critical first steps towards developing a network of clinics that can provide the highest possible level of care and demonstrate best-practices for mental health professionals around the world," said Jonathan Javitt and Matthew Duffy, Co-CEOs of HOPE Therapeutics. "These clinics, and others under review, are planned to provide the foundation for a network generating revenue of approximately $100 million annually in the coming year."
