What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine therapy is an innovative and effective treatment used for managing depression. At the onset, this therapy was designed to be used intravenously. This design proved too expensive and time-consuming. Since then, the treatment has been redesigned to be administered intramuscularly. 

What’s more, the ketamine therapy has been tailored to deliver effective, easy, and safe proceedings at an affordable rate. Furthermore, this therapy also presents minimal side effects as compared to other traditional depression treatments.

Our Ketamine Therapy Procedure

Ketamine therapy is relatively easy on patients. However, at our practice, we prioritize the comfort and safety of our patients. As such, we require you to come along with a companion. This companion will not only take you home when we are done but help us monitor you for a period of 8 to 12 hours post-therapy.

The morning before the procedure, it is advisable to avoid the consumption of food and taking of pills. This step is to ensure the accuracy of the vital sign readings that our specialist will take. It also allows for our specialists to detect new symptoms relevant to the condition.

Afterward, the intramuscular administration of the therapy ensues. When this has been achieved, our specialist monitors the mental status of the patient for 30 minutes. This monitoring also insides the reassessment of vital signs. 

When our specialist is satisfied with the procedure’s outcome, the patient is discharged and left in the care of the companion. The day after the procedure, the patient is required to check in for mood evaluation to provide insight on the continual effect of the procedure. 

Effectiveness

The effectiveness of his therapy is impressive. It requires minutes to a few hours to act. This effectiveness means less time to act than other medications that need weeks of use before they can work efficiently. This effectiveness makes it a rapid response therapy for depression.

Side Effect

Traditional antidepressants medication can cause various side effects like insomnia, digestion complications, and weight gain. However, Ketamine therapy does not result in any of these side effects.
