WHAT IS KETAMINE?
Ketamine has been shown to be an incredibly effective drug for treating depression. While originally used as an anesthetic, it works differently in the brain than other mental health medications.
Traditional antidepressants, such as SSRIs have to build up in your system to change your brain chemistry, while Ketamine almost immediately alters the neurotransmitter activity in your brain.

APPROVED AND SUCCESSFUL
Current research has shown that more than 50% of patients experience significant relief in symptoms after an initial treatment and increased relief after several treatments. Ketamine stimulates brain changes that lead to extended relief.
-
NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT
The FDA has now approved Ketamine nasal spray, Spravato, to treat depression and other mental health struggles. Depending on your customized multi-week treatment plan, Ketamine nasal spray or IV infusions are offered at our office.

NON-PHARMECUTICAL RELIEF
Anti-depressants are typically only impactful while taking the prescribed medication daily. Ketamine Therapy provides relief from symptoms that last much longer than the timeframe when a patient is actively receiving treatment.
HOW DOES KETAMINE WORK?
In low-doses, ketamine produces a surge in neurotransmitters, which increases the growth of the brain’s synapses.
The neural connections in the regions of the brain that are affected by depression and anxiety are stimulated, enhanced, and restored.
The brain circuit that has been dulled by depression and anxiety are improved as the brain chemistry shifts from the Ketamine Therapy.
SSRI’s work to activate a protein in the brain, while Ketamine rehabilitates this protein rapidly and with longevity.
Ketamine disrupts negative thought patterns and emotions, helping the brain create stronger connections resulting in new behaviors and patterns.
