In patients who have suffered with depression and other mood disorders for years, this treatment can be revolutionary. Ketamine works to repair synapses that have been compromised by depression so the neurotransmitters, or chemical messengers, that regulate your mood can work more effectively. If you’ve been struggling with depression, you’re likely familiar with the process of trying antidepressants, which take several weeks to begin working.
Working through a different mechanism than typical antidepressants, ketamine provides far more rapid results than traditional treatments. Many patients have tried SSRIs, SNRIs, mood stabilizers, and other meds, but have failed to reach acceptable levels of symptom resolution. Ketamine has been researched in these refractory patients and shown to have significant reduction in this cohort of patients. Studies have shown 7 out of 10 patients can benefit from their severe depression symptoms with Ketamine treatments.
