Mood swings

How Does Ketamine Help With Depression?

Ketamine therapy gets the job done fast to minimize symptoms of depression. Nearly instantaneously, ketamine pinpoints synaptic receptors in the brain to moderate the brain’s reaction to stress and the development of traumatic memories. The widespread applications of ketamine for mental health also indicate that ketamine therapy can treat a variety of depression.

Glutamate, an essential neurotransmitter for mood regulation, can mediate stress response and how the brain develops traumatic memories. By interacting with glutamate as an NMDA receptor antagonist, ketamine can create antidepressant properties.

These brain changes can occur within hours after ketamine infusion instead of classical oral antidepressants, which may take weeks or months to start working.

Low-dose ketamine infusion therapy may be an essential depression treatment for patients who have not responded to oral antidepressants. In recent studies, ketamine has had an immediate benefit for treatment-resistant depression disorders, with some patients experiencing relief for up to seven days.

The Ketamine Infusion Experience

During treatment, we go above and beyond to make sure all of our patients feel as comfortable as possible in their own private rooms. Infusions typically last 45-60 minutes for mood disorders, while chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia require a larger dose and can take up to several hours to complete.

A number of our patients refer to a “dissociative” effect, and most of our patients respond positively to this sensation. In many cases, this disassociation effect is what aids with your treatment and delivers a positive response to ketamine therapy.

These are all ordinary components of the treatment. You will always remain in a safe atmosphere with our team there to monitor you and be readily available during your infusion.

What Are The Side Effects of Ketamine Treatment?

As a new treatment option for depression, ketamine does have a few minor side effects. These can include a dream-like feeling, disrupted vision, lightheadedness, nausea, or some slight anxious feelings after treatment.

Ketamine is an FDA-approved medication utilized in “off-label” use for infusion therapy. Off-label use indicates that it is a treatment that the FDA did not initially authorize. The FDA approves prescription medications only for specific uses, but most medications at some point develop off-label uses as a result of the clinical experience that develops with time.

Testimonials

I was skeptical at first to do the Ketamine. After my very first treatment, I saw a drastic change in my depression, mood, anxiety, and overall well-being. I would say this has been one of the best things I have ever experienced for my mental health. One of the best things I’ve done in my life. I recommend it to anyone suffering from mental health. It is well worth the visit to find out more information. It has been amazing and has helped me, my family and everyone around me.

After the first session, I noticed a significant improvement in my mental health. The weight of my depression and anxiety had been lifted, and I felt more positive and optimistic. My creativity and confidence have also returned, and I am incredibly grateful for this treatment and its impact on my life. The staff and experience will provide you with a fresh outlook on life and help you better your overall well-being.

Ketamine give me my life back! In one of my darkest times, I took a chance, and since my first visit to Luvita, my life has changed drastically for the better, and I will be forever grateful. The staff at Luvita are some of the industry's most professional and compassionate people.

Pam saved my son's life. He was in despair and on the verge of giving up on life. As a mother, seeing your child in agony is indescribable. We tried everything - therapy, medications, TMS - but nothing worked until we discovered ketamine infusion therapy. After just a few treatments, my son started smiling again, which is something I hadn't seen in years. By the end of the series, his depression had completely lifted. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for Luvita and the profound impact they have had on my family.

I walked into the clinic for my first infusion feeling overwhelmed by severe depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. But after just one treatment, I noticed a significant decrease in anxiety. By the fourth treatment, my depression started feeling better, and by the time I finished my seventh treatment, my suicidal thoughts had completely gone away. Pam and Amanda, you gave me my life back and I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.
