Ketamine therapy is a treatment approach that uses low doses of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, to treat a variety of mental health conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), refractory pain syndromes, phantom pain, and pain in cancer patients.
Subanesthetic ketamine injections are used to treat depression, pain, and other mental health or substance abuse disorders.
Recently, there have been many factors contributing to the rise in depression among the general population.
Typically, ketamine treatment includes 6 sessions over 3 weeks, but final recommendations are determined individually for each patient.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure lasts 60 minutes.
