Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

The most common treatments for PTSD are along the same guidelines as those for depression and anxiety. Similarly, relief from PTSD may not be experienced for several weeks. This is where ketamine infusion therapy may prove to have the most effective and rapid onset of any other treatment to date.

Relief from symptoms of PTSD have been reported to be as early as hours following a ketamine infusion. Not all patients will experience relief that rapidly, however, it is possible. In a recent double-blind, randomized, controlled trial, researchers found that PTSD symptoms were significantly improved 24 hours following ketamine infusion.

PTSD can cause everyday life to seem overwhelming, making it difficult to keep a job or maintain necessary interpersonal relationships

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone who has experienced some type of trauma, and can occur months or even years after the traumatic event. It may be caused by exposure to many different types of events such as a car accident, sexual or physical abuse, combat, a natural disaster, or any event that is beyond a natural stressor. Unfortunately, it is not limited to any certain age group, ranging from young children to adults.

Those suffering from PTSD may experience:

  • Irritability

  • Hypervigilance

  • Extreme anxiety

  • Nightmares

  • Self-destructive behavior

  • Lack of concentration
