Ketamine for Depression and Related Disorders

Depression and Ketamine

Depression  — in any of its many forms — affects 6% of the USA population. The number of people showing symptoms of varying severity has tripled during the Covid pandemic when even children began showing symptoms of depression. Women are more likely than men to be afflicted by depression but men diagnosed with severe depression are more likely to commit suicide.
Regrettably, some patients do not respond to the usual antidepressant treatments. Left untreated, depression puts patients at an increased risk for alcohol and drugs dependence and even suicide.

Depression affects 18 million people in the US. If you are one of them, we can help you.

Ketamine is an anaesthetic that works by blocking the NMDA receptors that affect mood and pain response, changing the way the brain cells communicate. 
If we compare the brain with a computer, Ketamine works fixing the hardware while traditional treatments work fixing the software.
