Transforming Mental Health with Patient-Centered Ketamine Therapy
At Hill Family Medicine, we are committed to optimizing mental health through innovative, patient-centered approaches. One such transformative treatment is Ketamine Therapy, which has shown promising results for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.
What is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine Therapy involves the medical use of ketamine, originally an anesthetic, now recognized for its rapid-acting antidepressant effects. Administered under professional supervision, ketamine can help alleviate symptoms in patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.
How Does Ketamine Therapy Work?
Ketamine interacts with NMDA receptors in the brain, enhancing neuroplasticity and enabling the brain to form new connections. This process helps “reset” neural pathways associated with mood regulation, providing relief from persistent depressive symptoms.
Conditions Treated with Ketamine Therapy
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
- Treatment-Resistant Depression
- Anxiety Disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Chronic Pain Conditions
