What is ketamine therapy?
Ketamine therapy involves the use of ketamine, a medication traditionally used for anesthesia, to treat mental health conditions such as PTSD and depression. It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain and can provide rapid relief from symptoms when other treatments have not been effective.
During a ketamine therapy session, you will be in a comfortable and controlled environment. The medication is typically administered intravenously or as a nasal spray. The session lasts about 40 minutes to an hour, and patients often report feeling relaxed or slightly dissociated during the treatment. A healthcare professional will monitor you throughout the session.
Some common side effects of ketamine therapy include mild hallucinations, dizziness, nausea, and increased heart rate. These side effects are usually short-lived and subside shortly after the session. Your healthcare provider will discuss all potential side effects and monitor you closely to ensure your safety.
Ketamine has been found to have a unique action on the brain’s glutamate system, which can lead to the formation of new neural connections. This can help reset the brain's pathways, reducing symptoms of PTSD and depression, and often providing relief much faster than traditional antidepressants.
Before your appointment, gather any medical records, list down your symptoms and medications, and be prepared to discuss your medical history.
The number of ketamine therapy sessions required can vary based on the individual and the severity of their condition. Many patients begin to notice improvements after just one or two sessions, but a typical course of treatment might involve multiple sessions over several weeks, followed by maintenance treatments as needed. Your treatment plan will be personalized to best meet your needs.
