The future of mental health care is here. And thank God, because the epidemic of depression, trauma and anxiety is out of control. The use of psychiatric medication like SSRIs is so pervasive people think that’s the only option, but someone like Dr Sean Thornley is proving there is an alternative with his use of ketamine infusions.

A part of the psychedelic revolution, believe you me, it won’t be long before it is normal conversation to hear about your friends and family using ketamine to offer them the opportunity to heal pain and trauma, and find joy and purpose again in their lives.

Sean Thornley is a Medical Doctor, General Practitioner and Anaesthetist. He graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2012 with a diploma in anaesthesia. He completed his internship at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town in 2013 and 2014 before moving to Tambo Memorial Hospital in the East Rand for Community Service where he completed a diploma in anaesthesia.

Dr Sean then moved to private general practice in 2017, and has a passion for treating all general ailments with particular focus on preventative medicine, metabolic disease and mental health. He believes in trying to find the cause of the problem as opposed to simply treating the symptoms and adopts a holistic patient-centered approach to family practice. He is a ketamine practitioner and have a keen interest in psychedelic assisted therapy for mental health disorders.
