KETAMINE FOR DEPRESSION IS AN INNOVATIVE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT

Since the 1990s, ketamine for depression has grown rapidly in popularity, quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most effective treatments for depression available. Delivered intravenously, IV ketamine infusions provide lasting relief to about 70% of depressed patients, even those who have tried other treatments to no avail. Furthermore, ketamine works rapidly to alleviate the symptoms of depression, oftentimes within hours of the first infusion.

Decades of research show that ketamine works differently in the brain than other antidepressant medications, essentially helping the brain to repair neural connections that have been damaged by years of mental health dysfunction. Ketamine works on the brain’s glutamate system, rather than by helping the brain produce more serotonin.

Ketamine infusions are not right for everyone. However, if you have tried two or more depression treatments and have not found an effective solution, we urge you to learn more about ketamine therapy.

IV ketamine has been described as a “reset” button for the brain, allowing it to reboot…and enabling patients to experience life without the veil of depression.
