Depression & Anxiety

KETAMINE THERAPY MAY HELP WITH THE SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION

Depression affects roughly 17% of the population at some point in their lives. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of medications that are commonly used as first-line therapy alternatives. While SSRIs are highly effective in treating depression in some patients, they have significant drawbacks. Low response rates, treatment resistance, a high incidence of recurrence, and a delay in efficacy that requires patients to take one OR more SSRI’s for weeks to months before experiencing any benefit are among these disadvantages.

This lag in efficacy might be catastrophic in situations of suicidal thoughts, which is common in depressed individuals. We can assist patients to identify and prevent the negative ideas, behaviors, and actions that fuel their despair through our treatment protocol. In addition, we will tailor the treatment to the specific needs of each patient. Ketamine treatment can assist you in working through your symptoms and starting on a path to a happier and brighter future. It is important to understand that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment method. Contact Coastal Ketamine and Aesthetics to learn more.
