Ketamine Infusions for PTSD

PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that affects millions of people around the world. It can occur after a person has experienced a traumatic event, such as a sexual assault, physical abuse, neglect, or a natural disaster. Symptoms of PTSD can include intrusive memories, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating. PTSD can be debilitating and can drastically impact a person's quality of life.

Ketamine infusions are an emerging treatment option for PTSD. Ketamine works by restoring balance to the brain's neurotransmitters, allowing for reduced symptoms of PTSD. Clinical studies have demonstrated that ketamine infusions can reduce intrusive memories and flashbacks, and provide relief from PTSD symptoms. Ketamine infusions can be safely administered in the comfort of a medical office and can provide long-term relief from PTSD symptoms.

Ketamine infusions can be a powerful treatment for the symptoms of PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD usually begin within three months of a traumatic event, but can also occur years later. For a diagnosis of PTSD, symptoms must last for more than one month and can include intrusive memories (e.g. flashbacks, nightmares), avoidance (e.g. avoiding certain places or things that provoke the traumatic event), dissociation (i.e. feeling disconnected from one's body), and hypervigilance (e.g. feeling tense, insomnia, emotional outbursts, and easily startled). Many patients with severe PTSD can also have associated treatment-resistant depression, and ketamine infusions can be a powerful option to help alleviate both. Speak to your doctor to learn more about how ketamine infusions may help you manage the symptoms of PTSD.
