Ketamine infusions for mood disorders have become a more favorable treatment over the past few years in

treating treatment-resistant depression. There have been many studies and much research into patients suffering

from treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and postpartum depression

who have benefited from ketamine IV treatments.

 Beauty Restored and Wellness has highly trained professionals to administer your ketamine treatment.

There are minimal side effects with ketamine IV. Ketamine patients will generally respond relatively quickly, even

with their first treatment. The response from ketamine has been shown to benefit some individuals faster than

other traditional medications that may take weeks or even months to start working.

How does ketamine work?

Ketamine targets NMDA receptors in the brain. The action of ketamine is impressive compared to other

antidepressants such as SSRIs. When other medications have not been successful, ketamine can be remarkably

effective.

Ketamine raises the unconscious mind to awareness and is remarkable in the way it allows for the processes

and patterns in the brain that are tucked away from the conscious mind to create new pathways. It is beneficial for

treatment-resistant conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, postpartum depression, anxiety, PTSD, and

obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Recent research shows a greater than 70% response rate after just one session of ketamine IV. The remission rate has been shown to improve 40–50% for treatment-resistant depression over antidepressants and therapy alone.
