## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Israeli Biotech Clearmind Medicine Announces Positive Pre-Clinical Results Treating Major Depression With a Novel Ketamine-Based Compound**

Tel Aviv, Israel / Vancouver, Canada, Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ: CMND) (CSE: CMND), (FSE: CWY) ("Clearmind" or "the Company"), a biotech company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced that as part of its ongoing collaboration with the Bar-Ilan University, Israel and Professor Gal Yadid, from the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center, a new pre-clinical trial (the "trial") resulted in positive outcomes in relation to treating Major Depressive Disorder ("MDD").

The trial evaluated 2-Fluorodeschloroketamine's ("2-FDCK"), an innovative analogue of Ketamine, of which the Company has a pending patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, for its use in treating depression including treatment resistant depression.

The purpose of this trial was to determine 2-FDCK's effect on the motivational state of rodents as a treatment for depressive behavior and to test 2-FDCK as a potential novel long-term pharmacological psychoactive treatment for MDD. In the trial, the Flinders Sensitive Line ("FSL") rat, an animal model of depression, were treated either by Ketamine or 2-FDCK for 14 consecutive days.

The results indicated high potential safely treating both acute and chronic depression, compared to Ketamine that is used today for treating depression. The results suggest that there is a superior effect of 2-FDCK vs. Ketamine on the depressive-like behavior of the FSL animal model: Both Ketamine and 2-FDCK affected depressive-like symptoms. However, the effect was longer lasting when using a chronic treatment paradigm, only for 2-FDCK.

"One of our goals of working closely with leading researchers around the world, is to investigate our proprietary compounds for new revolutionary treatments for addictions and mental health disorders. Our strong IP portfolio, includes numerous innovative compounds in the field of psychedelic-derived therapeutics," said Clearmind's CEO Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani. "We are very encouraged by these preclinical data as we believe this could make a tremendous difference to patients suffering with treatment-resistant depression, who have limited options available to them."
