Ketamine for Anxiety Treatment
Until recently, depression was mainly treated using a combination of therapy and antidepressant medication like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Most of these depression medications operate on the premise that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. As such, they are designed to restore a balance to the brain’s neurotransmitters by changing their levels to control mood and behavior.
However, recent studies now show that although chemical neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine play a small part, the development of depression is mainly a result of damaged nerve connections or neuronal deficits in the brain due to external stressors. This affects the communication between brain cells and can result in depressive symptoms.
Ketamine is an NMDA receptor inhibitor that works by triggering synaptogenesis or the repair and development of healthy nerve connections in areas of the brain that control mood and cognition. By triggering this process, ketamine exerts a “healing effect” on the brain which results in prolonged remission from depressive symptoms.

How Well Does Ketamine Work for Depression Patients?
Ketamine has been shown to provide fast relief for those who suffer from treatment-resistant depression symptoms. About 70 to 85 percent of patients with severe depression who try ketamine treatment say it’s effective, compared with 58 to 70 percent of ECT patients.
One of the major benefits of ketamine infusion therapy as a depression treatment is its ability to provide relief fast. Unlike many medications that can take weeks, or months to do their job, ketamine provides relief to many patients within 24 hours of their first ketamine infusion.

Depression FAQs
Depression is caused by a variety of factors, including genetic, medical conditions, medication side effects, and personal losses.
For many people, the cause of depression may vary from day to day or with their changing moods. For example, someone experiencing sadness after the loss of a loved one might also experience depression following that event. Additionally, people who are predisposed to depression have it because they lack certain chemicals in their brain called neurotransmitters that transmit nerve impulses from cell to cell or tissue type cells within an organ (in this case the brain). These neurotransmitters are vital for handling stress and regulating mood.
Symptoms of depression (including major depressive disorder) vary depending on the individual. Common symptoms, however, can include:
- Persistent sadness and/or feelings of joylessness or hopelessness
- Poor quality sleep
- Poor appetite and weight loss without trying to change eating habits -Findings that varied with different people included decreased sex drive, generalized fatigue, agitation or slowed thinking processes. Some studies have found a positive effect of antidepressants for both short-term and long-term effects. More research needs to be done in this area before any definite conclusions are made.
