How Can You Treat PTSD with Ketamine?

Ketamine works differently than a typical selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It functions by disrupting glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, learning, pain recognition and emotion. Glutamate also plays a role in forming traumatic memories and mediating stress responses. Ketamine may potentially provide deep healing, bringing about improvement of PTSD symptoms in a number of different ways. It is important to understand the difference between healing and remission, which requires getting to the root of the problem rather than masking the symptoms. The use of ketamine in an intentional, transformative way can address chemical imbalances and decrease anxiety, allowing a change of perspective to the traumatic event or events and helps reconnect people to those around them, restoring important interpersonal relationships.

Who Should Use Ketamine Treatments?

Ketamine treatments for bipolar disorder are suitable for patients who have struggled to find relief from other therapies. Research has shown that therapeutic ketamine treatments can help patients to feel less depressed and experience fewer emotional outbursts. It has also been proven effective in reducing suicidal thoughts and night terrors.
