Innovative Relief for Depression and Anxiety: Ketamine Infusion Therapy at the Center for Psychiatric Wellness

At the Center for Psychiatric Wellness, we are committed to offering cutting-edge treatments to help our patients achieve optimal mental health and well-being. One such innovative treatment we provide is Ketamine Infusion Therapy, a promising option for those struggling with severe depression and certain anxiety disorders.

What is Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

Ketamine Infusion Therapy involves the administration of low doses of ketamine, a medication traditionally used as an anesthetic, to treat symptoms of major depressive disorder and anxiety. This therapy is especially beneficial for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments such as antidepressants and psychotherapy.

How Does Ketamine Infusion Therapy Work?

Ketamine works on the brain in a unique way, targeting NMDA receptors and increasing the levels of glutamate, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation. This process can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety quickly, often within hours of treatment, providing relief for individuals who have struggled to find effective solutions.

Benefits of Ketamine Infusion Therapy

Rapid Relief: Many patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms within hours of the first infusion.
Treatment-Resistant Depression: Ketamine has been shown to be effective for individuals who have not found relief through traditional antidepressants.
Anxiety Disorders: In addition to depression, ketamine can help reduce symptoms of certain anxiety disorders.
Improved Mood and Functionality: Patients often report an overall enhancement in their mood and daily functioning.
