KETAMINE INFUSION THERAPY

For the treatment of depression, we also offer ketamine intravenous infusions under skillful supervision that takes place in our office. According to clinical-based data, ketamine is believed to treat depression through different mechanisms than traditional antidepressants, which focus primarily on increasing neurotransmitters. Ketamine works directly on the brain receptors which affect depression and pain responses, and indirectly on neurotransmitters. Because ketamine works on receptors rather than shifting neurotransmitter balances, it works drastically quick, almost immediately in most cases. It has particular efficacy for those struggling with suicidal thoughts. For further information, see www.copepsychiatry.com
