Our office was the first in the area to offer Ketamine for mental health and since our start in 2018. It became a popular treatment option because it is a Rapid Acting Antidepressant (RAAD).  No longer do people have to wait a month or longer to see their symptoms treated.

While Ketamine is known as an RAAD, it is more than that.  We use it to treat not only Depression but Suicidal Thoughts, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Pain.  It has been a game changer for many sufferers.  60-70 % patients with treatment resistant Depression respond to Ketamine.

Recent studies show a single dose of Ketamine can reduce suicidal thoughts.

For almost 20 years, researchers have demonstrated that tiny doses of Ketamine can rapidly relieve depression symptoms when delivered via slow intravenous infusion. The first scholarly paper describing this discovery was published by Yale in 2000 and now other major institutions such as National Institutes of Health, Mount Sinai Medical School, Oxford University, and Johns Hopkins have similar findings.
