What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a synthetic compound that induces a mild dissociative or psychedelic experience depending on the dosage and route of administration.
Ketamine is FDA approved for use as an anesthetic, and thanks to an expanding body of scientific research, it is also used to treat depression, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and other mental health issues.
Ketamine often works quickly, sometimes people even start to feel better during the first session. Usually, a series of sessions are recommended to treat mental health problems more fully.
Research shows that 70-80% participants that received 4-6 sessions of Ketamine had continued symptom reduction at 12-month follow-up, with 15-20% of participants needing a booster at 6 months.
What Our Clients Are Saying
How Does Ketamine Work?
Current research shows that ketamine stimulates neuroplasticity by activating sites in your brain called NMDA receptors.
The neurotransmitter glutamate is also thought to be involved in this process, setting ketamine apart from traditional antidepressants that often work on serotonin receptors.
This helps to increase the neuroplasticity in the brain making it easier to make new neural connections and to help rewire old thought and behavioral patterns, and for these changes to “stick”.
“Neurons that fire together, wire together”- Donald Hebb.
