Why Ketamine?
• Rapid relief. Many patients feel meaningful improvement within hours, not weeks, after an infusion.
• Robust clinical evidence. 20 + years of peer‑reviewed trials confirm ketamine’s antidepressant and anti‑anxiety effects, even in treatment‑resistant cases.
• Unique mechanism. Ketamine targets NMDA receptors and sparks neuroplastic changes that conventional antidepressants cannot match.
• Physician‑led safety. An anesthesiologist delivers and monitors every infusion in a controlled medical setting.
