If you’ve been suffering from treatment-resistant depression, Chrysalis Ketamine (888-836-4334) is here to help with its ketamine IV therapy.
Although there are lots of different treatment methods for depression, these don’t always work for everyone. If you feel like you’ve tried everything in the book, don’t lose hope! Many people with treatment-resistant depression have found rapid relief from their symptoms with ketamine IV therapy – and this might just help you too!
Sadly, there has been a recent rise in treatment-resistant depression, with Johns Hopkins Medicine reporting that it affects up to 30% of adults with major depressive disorder. With its ketamine infusion therapy, Chrysalis Ketamine offers an alternative form of treatment for depression where other forms of antidepressant medication have failed.
Antidepressants, such as sertraline, are often the first-line treatment for depression, however not all patients respond to this form of medication. Unlike traditional SSRIs, the clinic’s new ketamine IV infusion therapy provides almost instantaneous relief from your depressive symptoms.
“The promptness of ketamine in yielding an antidepressant effect occurs because this drug bypasses the conventional serotonin path and goes straight to switching on glutamate,” explains the clinic. This neurotransmitter is responsible for regulating mood and emotion and is therefore helpful in treating common symptoms of depression such as persistent feelings of sadness, mood swings and irritability.
The ketamine therapy provided at Chrysalis Ketamine is offered intravenously over 40-50 minutes, resulting in immediate psychoactive effects. Your treatment is administered in a private room, with regular and careful monitoring throughout. The experienced team at Chrysalis Ketamine will work together with you to determine an individualized treatment plan according to your goals and needs. The clinic recommends six infusions, over a span of two to three weeks, to provide the best relief from your depressive symptoms.

Dr. Karpanian explains that ketamine works best in conjunction with talk therapy from a registered psychotherapy professional. If you don't currently have a therapist, the clinic can make a referral on your behalf, finding the best in your area. “The process works best when approached holistically,” says Dr. Karpanian. “Good social support, supplemental and complementary therapy from your therapist or psychiatrist along with good sleep, diet and exercise are very important.”
Although primarily treating depression, Chrysalis Ketamine’s infusions have also been proven to treat the symptoms of other mental health conditions including anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD and more.
