How Ketamine Therapy Works
Ketamine therapy primarily targets the brain’s glutamate system, a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and synaptic plasticity. Ketamine acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist, which modulates the release of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter. This leads to an increase in synaptic connections and the growth of new neural pathways. This rapid synaptogenesis is believed to enhance mood and cognitive flexibility.
Ketamine may reduce neuroinflammation, a potential contributor to mood disorders. By inhibiting inflammatory processes in the brain, ketamine may help alleviate symptoms associated with conditions like depression and PTSD. Furthermore, ketamine temporarily resets neural circuitry, providing individuals with a window of relief from their symptoms. This can allow for therapeutic interventions and long-term improvements in mental health.
Your Ketamine Therapy Experience
Ketamine therapy is administered under controlled medical supervision. The most common method is IV infusion, where a carefully measured dose of ketamine is delivered into the bloodstream. Other methods include intramuscular injections, intranasal sprays, or oral lozenges, with the choice of administration depending on the patient’s specific needs.
Ketamine therapy is not just about the medication; it also includes a psychological component. Patients typically engage in talk therapy or counseling before, during, and after ketamine therapy.
These sessions are designed to help patients explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a supportive and therapeutic environment.
The frequency and duration of ketamine therapy sessions vary from person to person and depend on the severity of their condition. Initially, patients may undergo several treatments over several weeks, with sessions spaced out every few days. After the initial phase, patients may require maintenance sessions at longer intervals to sustain the benefits.
