What is Ketamine
Therapy?
Ketamine Therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for individuals diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not found relief from traditional antidepressant medications or have experienced undesirable side effects from them.
Ketamine has also shown promise in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Depending on the individual’s needs, Ketamine therapy may be used as a stand-alone treatment or alongside other forms of care, such as medication or talk therapy. Ketamine may also be considered in the management of anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, and substance use disorders.
North Spring Psychiatry offers Ketamine therapy in a safe, medically monitored setting, using evidence-based protocols to ensure optimal outcomes. Ketamine works by modulating glutamate, a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and neuroplasticity.
This mechanism helps improve communication between brain cells and may restore function to areas of the brain that are underactive in people experiencing depression.
