Ketamine: What is it?

Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, has been proven to be successful in treating a variety of mental health issues.

Since antidepressants have been the cornerstone of mental health therapy for the past 30 years, you're undoubtedly more familiar with them. Many people don't respond well to traditional antidepressants, which control serotonin levels in the brain. In fact, the medicines could operate as a roadblock to restoring mental health through alternative forms of treatment. For instance, the STAR*D research found that the majority of antidepressant users saw no discernible improvements in their depression. Even worse, antidepressants can make it more likely that other forms of treatment would be ineffective.

However, ketamine functions differently from the majority of antidepressants and has been shown in several clinical trials to be superior to antidepressants in the treatment of resistant depression. According to these trials, symptoms of depression decreased in 70% of the individuals who had ketamine infusions.

The contrast between antidepressant usage and ketamine therapy is stark and striking.

Ketamine has a low potential for dependency when provided in a therapeutic context, despite the fact that it can be habit-forming when taken improperly.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that enables the patient to separate their awareness from their sense of who they are. This enables a more impartial perspective of oneself that is independent of the story our egos create and that we use to define our identities. The patient may now identify how their attitudes, actions, and thinking and behavior patterns are causing them pain.

What Can Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) For Me?

KAP immediately provides comfort for patients by increasing the hormone Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). This essential brain hormone aids in the development of new neural connections, which can replace those that were damaged by the effects of severe depression.
