Ketamine for depression treatment
Are you also suffering from a depression that does not seem to react to anything? In recent years, Ketamine has become more and more common as a possible treatment for depression, especially among those experiencing severe depression which is resistant to other means of therapy or medication.
You may have heard of Ketamine, also known as "horse tranquilizer" or "special K", as a highly popular substance which many people seem to be interested in for recreational uses. Some may obtain Ketamine through veterinary sources, as it's commonly used as an anesthetic for animals, but Ketamine is actually prescribed by doctors to patients in needs, and actually has some unique and meaningful benefits for those of us who are suffering and seeking medical help and treatment for depression, including those who may prove to be unreactive to other treatments.
The mechanism of the Ketamine substance is singular, and allows treatment to some people with have previously shown resistance to anti-depressive medication. Those very patients when given Ketamine prove to show a dramatic response in many cases.
Some patients report significant positive change within a time frame as short as an hour or a two from taking the medication, an effect that many times lasts for days after each treatment, some patients have reported. When given through an IV, the effect of Ketamine is naturally significantly increased and hastened, but it can also be taken in other methods, such as a nasal spray, which some patients may find helpful and sufficient for their needs and level of depression.
Some patients find that having supplementary treatments and sessions every few days or on a weekly basis may prove to be expansive or time consuming. Using TMS (Transcranial magnetic stimulation) actually allows for much greater chances of success for the treatment, maximizing the benefits and effect of the Ketamine, after which patients may maintain their balance using a long term treatment, while researches are at work developing new medications with a similar effect.
If you find that your personal life is being affected more and more by depression, and have lost all hope after trying other means of treatments and medication, you may very well be one of those patients, who could gain many benefits from the combined power of TMS and Ketamine therapy.
