Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Ketamine infusion therapy is an innovative therapy with recent breakthroughs in treatments for depression and chronic pain including, but not limited to –
Bipolar Depression treatment
Anxiety treatment
Depression treatment
OCD treatment
Neuropathic Pain treatment
PTSD treatment
For years, Ketamine infusions have been studied at prestigious medical institutions across the country including Harvard Medical and Yale Medical. “If a person responds to ketamine, it can rapidly reduce suicidality (life-threatening thoughts and acts) and relieve other serious symptoms of depression.”
Although it is not entirely clear how Ketamine works to treat these conditions, it is thought that it works in several ways at the same time to lower inhibitions in a controlled environment to allow for neurons to communicate with one another along new pathways and reduce signals involved in inflammation, which has been linked to mood disorders.
Ketamine for Depression
People who experience some relief from depression within one to three ketamine treatments are likely to extend these positive effects if the treatment is repeated several more times. The subsequent sessions may help prolong the effects of ketamine, rather than achieving further dramatic relief of symptoms.
Like opioids, Ketamine has addictive properties, which is why it is imperative that you participate in this therapy under the direction and administration of licensed professionals.
