IV Ketamine offers effective treatment for severe depression, suicidal ideation, PTSD, and other conditions that haven’t responded to traditional medication and therapy. Originally approved by the FDA as an anesthetic in 1970, ketamine’s antidepressant effects were discovered by researchers at Yale in the early 2000s.
Traditional antidepressants, like SSRI’s, SNRI’s and MAOI’s that can take weeks or months to show effect. All of them come with warning labels against elevated risks of suicide.
Unlike, traditional anti-depressants, ketamine targets a different part of the brain: The NMDA Receptor. When administered intravenously in a supervised clinical setting, ketamine often produces rapid, dramatic improvement within hours or days. IV Ketamine is the only drug that has been proven to treat suicidal ideation in patients with depression, in multiple randomized, controlled trials.
Ketamine acts on the brain’s NMDA receptors and promotes the growth of new neural connections, particularly in areas affected by chronic stress and depression. This neuroplasticity is key to ketamine’s rapid effects on mood and thought patterns.
Your treatment at HOPE Therapeutics begins with a thorough medical and psychiatric valuation. Our providers will review your mental health history, current symptoms, medications, and treatment goals. We'll conduct medical screening to ensure IV ketamine is safe and appropriate for you.
You’ll relax in a comfortable, private room while we administer ketamine through an IV. A medical professional monitors you throughout the entire session.
During the infusion, you may experience a dissociative state, a dream-like feeling of being detached from your body or surroundings. This is normal and temporary. Some patients have visual distortions or altered perception of time. These effects resolve shortly after the infusion ends.
We monitor your vital signs continuously. After the infusion, you’ll rest before being discharged to a responsible adult.
After the initial treatment series, we assess your response and develop a personalized maintenance plan. Some patients benefit from periodic maintenance infusions to sustain their improvements. We track your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
Intravenous ketamine therapy offers a wide range of fast and powerful benefits for serious psychiatric conditions. For people suffering from treatment-resistant depression and severe suicidal thoughts, the therapy can provide meaningful relief within just one day — a stark contrast to traditional medications, which may take weeks or even months to work.
Advanced brain imaging technology shows that these strong antidepressant effects occur through targeted changes in the brain’s AMPA receptors, essentially altering how brain cells communicate with one another to reduce depressive symptoms.
Additionally, repeated ketamine infusions have been shown to produce significant and lasting symptom relief for patients with chronic PTSD, quickly reducing intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, and accompanying feelings of depression.
Ketamine primarily works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, which triggers a cascade of neurochemical changes. This leads to increased production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the growth of new synaptic connections.
Unlike traditional antidepressants that focus on serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine, ketamine targets the glutamate system. This different mechanism of action is why it works for people who haven’t responded to other treatments.
