Ketamine therapy has become an increasingly popular treatment option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression and other mental health conditions. The therapy has been shown to have transformative effects, often providing relief for individuals who have been unsuccessful with traditional treatments. In this blog post, we will explore the transformative effects of ketamine therapy and how Dr. Jeff Ditzell can help patients achieve lasting transformation.
What is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine therapy involves the administration of a low dose of ketamine via an IV infusion. Ketamine is an anesthetic that has been used in the medical field for decades. In recent years, research has shown that ketamine can have antidepressant effects. In 2019, the FDA approved ketamine for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression.
Transformative Effects of Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy has been shown to have transformative effects on individuals struggling with depression and other mental health conditions. Some of the transformative effects of ketamine therapy include improvement in depressive symptoms, reduction in suicidal thoughts and ideation, and enhancement of overall mood and well-being.
Real-life examples of patients who have experienced lasting transformation through ketamine therapy include:
“I have been seeing Dr. D for just over a year now and he has been a positive influence in my life. I often apply his useful guidance and even find myself sharing his advice with family and friends. Dr. D has truly helped me understand myself better, grow my confidence, improve my relationships, and gain a better perspective on my life. Highly highly recommended.” – Testimonial from a patient
“Outstanding doctor. At first meeting, Dr. D immediately set me at ease. He is perceptive, incredibly knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be around. Of all the (way too many) psychs I’ve had, he is the only one who has taken the time to know me and give a truly comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. The office has a lovely atmosphere, never a wait, never felt rushed. He promptly responds to emails/calls. I can’t say enough. I highly recommend him.” – Testimonial from a patient
Potential Side Effects and Risks
As with any medical treatment, ketamine therapy does come with potential side effects and risks. Some of the potential side effects of ketamine therapy include nausea, dizziness, and increased blood pressure.
