Ketamine Therapy
As a groundbreaking treatment option for mental health conditions, ketamine therapy provides rapid relief for those who have not found success with traditional medications. Our compassionate team at Shore Clinical TMS & Wellness Center is dedicated to guiding you through this innovative therapy, helping you achieve a brighter, more hopeful future.
What is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine therapy involves the administration of ketamine, a well-known anesthetic, to treat severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.
Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to show results, ketamine has been found to provide rapid relief, often within days or even hours. Its fast-acting nature makes it a promising option for individuals who have not responded to other treatments.
Benefits of Ketamine Therapy
- Effective for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD): Ketamine therapy has proven beneficial for people who have not found relief with traditional antidepressants.
- Reduced Symptoms of Anxiety and PTSD: Along with depression, ketamine has shown efficacy in alleviating symptoms of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Minimal Side Effects: Ketamine therapy generally has fewer side effects compared to traditional antidepressants, making it a viable option for those who cannot tolerate other medications.
- Improved Mood and Well-being: Ketamine therapy can significantly enhance mood and overall well-being, helping patients feel more positive and engaged with life.
- Reduced Chronic Pain: Ketamine has been found to help alleviate chronic pain conditions, making it a dual-purpose treatment for both mental health and pain management.
- Enhanced Cognitive Function: By promoting neuroplasticity, ketamine therapy can improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.

How Does Ketamine Therapy Work?
Ketamine works by targeting the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the brain, which play a key role in mood regulation and pain perception. By blocking these receptors, ketamine activates the release of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that encourages the growth of new neural connections. This process, known as neuroplasticity, helps improve mood, cognitive function, and overall mental health. Each therapy session is tailored to the patient’s needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
