What Is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine therapy is an advanced treatment option that may help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions when conventional approaches have not been effective.
Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine works through different brain pathways and may provide faster symptom relief for some patients.
At Interpersonal Psychiatry, ketamine is administered through IV infusion in a controlled clinical setting where patients are monitored throughout treatment.
