Ketamine Therapy

Do you suffer from Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, or Suicidal Thoughts?

When it comes to profound depression and treatment resistant depression, many people just can't get relief from current treatments. Ketamine Therapy provides hope and healing through intravenous ketamine infusion therapy designed to treat patients resistant to traditional antidepressants. Ketamine therapy's innovative approach offers an effective and safe means to quickly improve symptoms of depression, PTSD and suicidal ideation – setting those who have been losing hope back on the path to recovery.

Now there's more evidence than ever before that the anesthetic ketamine has potential as a fast-acting treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with very few side effects. Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that has been used in humans for over 50 years.  In low doses, it is effective in treating depression by blocking the NMDA glutamate receptor.  It has a more rapid effect in alleviating symptoms, sometimes within hours, compared to more standard medications such as SSRIs which can take many weeks to months to begin to take effect. Improvements include a lift in mood in as little as a few minutes or hours, a reduction in suicidal thinking, and none of the side effects typically seen with classic antidepressants.

Ketamine therapy can result in positive treatment outcomes for:

  • Severe or Chronic Depression
  • Suicidal Thoughts
  • Anxiety
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Post-Partum Depression (PPD)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Chronic Pain
  • Chronic Migraines
  • Fibromialgia

How Does It Work?

The Ketamine infusion has been shown to yield rapid responses for depression when given in lower doses. Ketamine depression protocols have been developed where a specifically calculated amount of ketamine, based on the patient’s body weight, is administered intravenously over a 40 minute period. The desired effect is a notable mood lift while still awake and alert. The mood elevation is notable and may last up to several weeks after even just one administration. Many cases will require a subsequent ketamine infusion with some "booster" infusions, depending on the unique symptoms and physiology. Most ketamine depression cases maintain a very strong clinical response over time, with a 75% success rate.

All patients must first undergo a Psychiatric evaluation, after which treatment recommendations are discussed.
