If you are visiting this site, you may suffer from depression, or you may know someone else who is suffering from depression. It is possible other forms of treatment, such as antidepressants, TMS, and even ECT have been unsuccessful. Ketamine offers a new way to treat depression, as it works entirely differently from traditional antidepressants.
Ketamine offers hope, even if other forms of treatment for depression or major depressive disorder have not worked for you or your loved one. Ketamine is proven to help those with treatment-resistant depression find relief and build a better future.
Ketamine provides rapid and sustained relief from depressive symptoms. Some individuals have reported significant changes in the hours following their first treatment. This quick onset of action can be particularly beneficial for those who are experiencing severe depression or those at risk of self-harm.
The potential for lasting effects of ketamine is what makes it the most intriguing. While immediate relief may initially wear off after only one session, studies demonstrate a cumulative effect is experienced with six sessions over the course of approximately three weeks. This rapid-fire approach leads to longer-term remission of depressive symptoms.
Ketamine increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is known to boost neuroplasticity in the brain. BDNF is a protein that plays a crucial role in promoting the survival and growth of neurons, as well as the formation of new connections between them. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change and adapt over time.
Ketamine has demonstrated one of the highest success rates in treating depression, even when other methods have been unsuccessful. At Quest Ketamine Therapies, we are seeing reductions in symptoms upwards of 84%, and the vast majority of our patients report significant improvements in their quality of life following the treatment regimen.
Depression can make daily tasks feel overwhelming and hopeless. Engaging with home life, work, school, and social life may feel impossible.
Ketamine treatment not only helps to relieve acute symptoms, but it enables one to learn and grow. By increasing neuroplasticity in the brain, ketamine therapy helps to reframe experiences and helps one to more easily engage in positive activities.
