How Ketamine therapy Helps People With Major Depression in Massachusetts

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a severe mental illness that tends to cause functional impairment in many individuals. While monoaminergic antidepressants are being used to treat MDD adequately, there are drawbacks to these antidepressants in that they may have halted onset of action, and several patients continue to stay resistant to treatment.

Even though established as an anesthetic, ketamine also produces an antidepressant effect through the use of N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor blockade and NMDA receptor-independent pathways at sub-anesthetic dose levels. A unique infusion of ketamine delivers a dramatic improvement to a great extent in clinical symptoms of MDD. It results in the resolution of severe depressive symptoms in people with MDD, including suicidal thoughts.

Other treatments for depression and anxiety take weeks and even months to show improvement in symptoms. Some people even try out various medications and approaches to gain relief. These methods also have many side effects and adverse outcomes. Whereas, in the case of ketamine therapy, one session is enough to witness improvements. Compared to the use of ketamine as an anesthetic, a much lower dose of ketamine infusions is given to patients to treat depression. 

Time is never on the side of people suffering from chronic mental illnesses. Still, the ketamines potential of rapidly curing turns the clock around on depression rates and erases the negative stigma of drugs. It has proven to be effective for various other mental health illnesses like anxiety, PTSD, neuropathic pain, etc.
