Ketamine for Depression

Feel better now

Ketamine offers fast-acting relief for depression, often working within days, making it a breakthrough for those who haven’t responded to traditional antidepressants. It helps lift mood and reduce symptoms quickly, providing much-needed relief.

How Ketamine Works

By targeting the brain's glutamate system and blocking NMDA receptors, ketamine promotes the formation of new neural connections. This helps repair areas of the brain affected by chronic depression and promotes better emotional balance.

Sustained Results

Ketamine’s long-term benefits lie in its ability to enhance neuroplasticity. This helps create new pathways in the brain that support emotional resilience, giving patients the ability to experience lasting improvements even after treatment.

  • How It Works

    Unlike conventional treatments, ketamine targets the brain’s glutamate system, specifically blocking NMDA receptors. This unique action helps reset the brain’s stress response, offering both immediate relief and long-term improvements in managing anxiety.

  • Long-Term Benefits

    Beyond quick symptom relief, ketamine enhances synaptic plasticity, repairing and strengthening neural connections that may be weakened by chronic anxiety. This promotes lasting emotional stability and resilience against future stressors.

  • Safety

    Proven & Researched

    Originally approved by the FDA as an anesthetic in the 1970s, ketamine has been safely used for over 50 years. Though its use for depression and anxiety is considered "off-label," it’s widely accepted in medical practice. It’s one of the World Health Organization’s most widely used medications due to its exceptional safety profile.

    Safe & Well-Tolerated

    Ketamine is regarded as safe and effective when administered under medical supervision, with rare exceptions like uncontrolled high blood pressure or a history of psychosis. It’s even used in larger doses for pediatric surgeries, further demonstrating its safety.

    Rapid Results

    Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, ketamine has shown improvement in mental health symptoms within a week. It offers rapid, consistent relief for conditions like depression and anxiety.

    Compatible with Most Medications

    Ketamine can be safely taken with most medications, including SSRIs. During your consultation, our providers will review your current medications to ensure there are no interactions, offering a personalized treatment plan.
