It is estimated that at least 3 million Canadians age 18 and older, suffer from a mood disorder, such as anxiety or depression. Many of these individuals experience difficulty performing simple everyday tasks due to their condition,  and experience feelings of persistent sadness and difficulty concentrating. They may even be experiencing suicidal thoughts. Mood disorders therefore impair an individual's ability to function optimally at home, school or work. Many medical experts agree that while antidepressant medication helps a portion of individuals who suffer from mood disorders, a large number of those who suffer from severe depression or anxiety are unable to find relief with antidepressants. Many have tried various types of medication and have not experienced a significant improvement in symptoms or have experienced intolerable side effects. Additionally, anti-depressants often take up to 8 weeks to work, if they offer relief at all.

 

For those who suffer from severe chronic depression or anxiety, Ketamine infusions may offer a solution. Ketamine acts far more rapidly than traditional anti-depressants and has a completely different mechanism of action.  It has been shown to produce improvement in mood and behaviour, as well as to alleviate depressive symptoms in hours or days.

 

Ketamine Health is pleased to offer this treatment to those who have been suffering from mood disorders for a significant amount of time, and have not found symptom relief from any other treatment methods to date.
