How Can PTSD Along With Depression And Anxiety Be Treated?

YYYY@YYYY I am looking to use ketamine for my treatment of PTSD, depression and anxiety via infusions. I understand I will dissociate during the 40 minute treatment. I am worried because when I experienced the trauma I dissociated and have amnesia about part of the trauma. It could be potentially psychologically distressing to find out what those memories entail. Will ketamine infusion treatments cause me to remember past events and specifically the hidden memories. Also does one have panic attacks during the treatment or after. Thank you for your help
