MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS
THAT MAY BENEFIT FROM KETAMINE
Depression is a difficult condition to live with. It makes it hard to work, maintain relationships, take care of your loved ones, eat healthily, and exercise. Most patients suffer for years with minimally effective treatments.
Traditional depression treatments have a poor track record. They take a long time to work, if they work at all, and can have unpleasant side effects. The latest research suggests ketamine treatments may be effective for many with treatment-resistant depression.
Depression is considered treatment-resistant if you have failed to respond to at least two antidepressant treatments at the right dose and for an adequate amount of time. Roughly 30% of people with major depressive disorder are considered treatment-resistant. If this is you, ketamine may help.
How many ketamine treatments do I need?
The number of treatments needed varies by person. For mental health disorders, the research supports an initial treatment series of six over three to six weeks. Not everyone improves with ketamine but those who do usually start to see improvement at the end of six treatments. Some may see improvement sooner and some may require more treatments to see an initial improvement. Patients who are willing to combine their ketamine treatments with psychotherapy and lifestyle changes are generally more successful.
How long do results last?
Ketamine is a treatment, not a cure. The length of time improvement lasts varies by person. Most patients will need booster treatments every so often.

PTSD POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
What is post-traumatic stress disorder?
Post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD is a severe, often disabling disorder that can cause nightmares, upsetting memories, severe anxiety, combative behavior, and other symptoms. PTSD occurs after people see or live through a trauma. The trauma is usually an intense event that involves serious injury or death, or the chance of serious injury or death. PTSD traditionally has been most associated with people involved in war. However, traumatic events could be any kind of abuse or even medical events, such as a heart attack.
How is PTSD typically treated?
PTSD is typically difficult to treat. Traditional treatments have included anti-depressant and anti-psychotic medications combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Many patients with PTSD do not respond adequately to traditional treatments.
Recent studies have shown that ketamine infusions may provide better relief of PTSD symptoms for many patients.

ANXIETY
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive and persistent worrying that is hard to control, causes significant distress or impairment, and occurs on more days than not for at least six months. GAD is commonly associated with other mental health disorders including major depressive disorder.
Long-term anxiety can cause significant health issues including high blood pressure and elevated heart rate which can lead to higher rates of coronary heart disease.
GAD is typically treated with a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medications. Patient response varies widely and for some, standard treatment does not manage their symptoms adequately.
The latest research shows that ketamine infusion therapy may significantly improve the symptoms of treatment-resistant GAD, particularly when anxiety is accompanied by major depressive disorder.

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that typically cause anxiety or distress, and by repetitive mental or behavioral acts that the patient feels driven to perform. OCD commonly occurs with other mental health disorders including major depressive disorder and other anxiety disorders.
OCD can be debilitating, preventing patients from working, socializing, and living independently. Typical treatments include antidepressants, stimulants, antipsychotics, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Success of traditional therapies varies widely.
Recent studies have shown that ketamine infusion therapy may provide significant symptomatic relief for those who suffer from treatment-resisitent OCD, particularly if they also have major depressive disorder.
