Learn about ketamine therapy, its applications, and the latest research in mental health treatment.
Ketamine therapy involves the administration of ketamine—a medication that has been used as an anesthetic for decades—in controlled, sub-anesthetic doses to treat various mental health conditions and chronic pain disorders.
Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants. It blocks NMDA receptors and increases glutamate production, which affects mood, cognition, and thought patterns while promoting neuroplasticity.
Ketamine therapy has shown promise for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, bipolar depression, chronic pain conditions, and more.
Ketamine can be administered through various routes, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, nasal spray (esketamine/Spravato), sublingual lozenges, and oral tablets.
