ABOUT KETAMINE IV THERAPY

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a fast-acting, dissociative anesthetic and a well-established medication most commonly used for surgery and pain relief. It was approved by the FDA in 1970, and more recently has gained attention as a proven safe, effective and reliable treatment, when provided in small doses, for people suffering from mental health and mood disorders.

Why? Your brain is malleable, and has the ability to change and adapt. The brain uses circuits of interconnections to communicate. In depression and other mental health disorders, the number and strength of these interconnections decreases. Ketamine helps stimulate parts of your brain, by regrowing the number of synapses, which are connections between nerve cells. Think of it as opening up new communication channels. This may help you respond or adapt differently to life than before.

What does Ketamine Do Exactly?

Simply put, Ketamine infusions provided by a licensed provider, enhance neuroplasticity. This refers to the brain’s ability to change and reorganize its neural networks, including some of the areas impacted by various mental health conditions. According to Yale Medicine, Ketamine triggers Glutamate production, which prompts the brain to form new neural connections. These new connections help make the brain more adaptable, which provides the ability to create new pathways. These new pathways give patients the opportunity to start developing different thoughts and behaviors.

How does Ketamine help with mental health?

Instead of targeting dopamine and serotonin levels like traditional medications, it focuses on changing neural pathways and developing new, healthy neuron connections.

It may help some patients break free from rumination - a repetitive thought cycle many people get trapped in when facing mental health issues. It is beyond frustrating and exhausting to try different forms of medication and therapy, yet continue to come up empty handed. This type of treatment has been successful with patients who have experienced resistance to medications, or for those who struggle with taking daily medications.

Why is Ketamine different from traditional medications?

Instead of targeting dopamine and serotonin levels like traditional medications, it focuses on changing neural passageways and developing healthy neuron connections. Ketamine infusion therapy can often change the way the brain responds to medications, increasing the effectiveness of already prescribed drugs. Many people who haven’t found adequate improvement through traditional treatments are now finding life-changing relief. There are several kinds of traditional antidepressants, finding the right type and dose may take months of trial and error. This can be exhausting, especially for those who struggle to find one that is effective. Ketamine IV Therapy provides quick relief and for most patients, long-lasting results.
