Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine Infusion for Treatment of PTSD
KETAMINE IS ASSOCIATED WITH A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF PTSD SEVERITY
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is well known for affecting veterans, police officers, and firefighters, but PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed traumatic events.
Left untreated, PTSD can lead to intrusive recurring thoughts and nightmares, hopelessness, detachment from family & friends, severe depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts.
Multiple studies done at Mount Sinai and Yale University conclude that “Ketamine infusion is associated with a significant and rapid reduction of PTSD severity”.
PTSD affects the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain responsible for thought processes following traumatic experiences. We know that certain synapses fail to work properly during & after trauma and start to misfire.
Ketamine stimulates the brain to release glutamate which regenerates & repairs these critical synapses.
Ketamine treatment has been shown to reduce suicide rates in people with PTSD.
