Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life. Possible causes include a combination of biological, psychological, and social sources of distress. Increasingly, research suggests these factors may cause changes in brain function, including altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain.
PTSD is a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.
The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions. Symptoms may include nightmares or unwanted memories of the trauma, avoidance of situations that bring back memories of the trauma, heightened reactions, anxiety, or depressed mood.
Ketamine therapy is a type of mental health treatment that uses ketamine to help relieve emotional pain. Research shows that ketamine can dramatically improve the symptoms of depression and PTSD for people who have been resistant to treatment in the past. Not only does ketamine therapy work really well, but it also works quickly, meaning fewer sessions and faster relief. Some folks don’t respond to the traditional treatments for depression like talk therapy or antidepressants, but research shows that ketamine therapy can be effective for up to 70% of patients, whereas antidepressants are only effective for around 20% of patients.
