How does Ketamine Therapy work?

Ketamine Therapy uses significantly lower doses than surgical anesthesia, allowing patients to remain conscious throughout treatment. Patients commonly report deep physical relaxation paired with clear, flowing thought patterns.

During the IV infusion, Ketamine works to establish new neural connections in the brain.

Due to Ketamine’s rapid effects on brain chemistry, this therapy often delivers results much faster than conventional mental health treatments like antidepressant medications.

Some patients notice improvements almost immediately, though individual responses vary. In comparison, traditional antidepressants often require 4 to 8 weeks to take effect and may come with reduced efficacy and more pronounced side effects.

Ketamine has demonstrated particular success in addressing treatment-resistant depression where conventional medications proved ineffective.
