Why Ketamine Infusions?
In 2000, research found that ketamine had an anti-depressive effect and has been described as the single most important advance in the treatment of depression in more than 50 years.
01
Safety
Ketamine is a FDA approved drug that has been used daily in operating rooms since 1970 for adults, adolescents and children. When used in a medical setting, ketamine is a safe and non-habit forming medication with minimal to no side effects.
03
Different Approach
Ketamine has been found to promote neural plasticity. Specifically, ketamine appears to promote repair of synapses in brain regions where atrophy and synapse loss have occurred associated with chronic stress and depression.
02
Rapid Relief
When compared to traditional medications for depression and anxiety which take weeks or months to begin working, ketamine can relieve depressive symptoms rapidly and with sustained effect, with some patients reporting effects following their first infusion.
04
Minimal Side Effects
As compared to traditional depression and anxiety treatments, ketamine infusions are not associated with any long lasting side effects.
