Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

KETAMINE THERAPY QUICKLY HELPS TO RELIEVE PTSD SYMPTOMS

Trauma is much too common, impacting over 70% of Americans at some point in their lives, with up to 8% developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD, like many other mental health issues, can be difficult to treat. PTSD is a type of anxiety condition that occurs after experiencing a distressing event. PTSD is widespread in veterans who have been in active combat scenarios, as well as individuals who have been victims of personal assault, natural catastrophes, or active shooter situations.

While it is normal to experience increased anxiety after a traumatic event, these emotions and associated symptoms usually fade with time. PTSD, on the other hand, usually appears within three months of the occurrence, and its symptoms worsen and grow more disruptive over time. Ketamine therapy quickly relieves PTSD symptoms by promoting the production of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that controls how you react to stress and how traumatizing memories are formed. Every single ketamine infusion is an outpatient procedure carried out under the close observation of a licensed medical doctor. Contact Coastal Ketamine and Aesthetics to learn more
