Full Review
Joyous has built a compelling position as the most accessible entry point for at-home ketamine therapy, with flat $129/mo pricing that significantly undercuts competitors like Mindbloom ($330-430/mo) and IV clinics ($400-800/session). The company's microdose approach (10-120mg sublingual troches) keeps patients fully functional during treatment — no 'trip' experience, no required sitter, and compatibility with other antidepressants. Joyous reports 89%+ of patients see improvement within the first month. However, a $400K privacy class action settlement (2025), deteriorating service quality in early 2026, and persistent BBB complaints about billing and cancellation friction are material concerns. Available in 28 states.
