About Ketamine Infusions
Ketamine, a dissociative drug most commonly utilized as an anesthetic, is now being used to treat individuals with antidepressant-resistant depression. While traditional treatments for depression can take weeks to months before beginning to take effect, Ketamine has shown results in only a few days. Additionally, upwards of 20-30% of individuals are resistant to antidepressant medications. Ketamine infusion therapy has been proven to be highly effective in those who are resistant to other methods of treatment. Individuals who are experiencing suicidal ideations may experience relief within 24 hours. Although Ketamine does not cure depression, it has been proven to effectively relieve associated symptoms.
