Traditional medications and therapy not getting you to where you want to be? Address the root causes of your depression and anxiety with breakthrough programs including online ketamine therapy and integration coaching.
Ketamine works by blocking the activity of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, a receptor in the brain that is involved in the regulation of mood, cognition, and pain perception. Ketamine therapy is thought to have rapid-acting antidepressant effects, with many patients reporting improvements in their symptoms within hours to days after treatment.
Experience transformative relief with our comprehensive program tailored to address a variety of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and life stressors. Our scientifically proven approach ensures safety and efficacy, harnessing the power of ketamine to enhance neuroplasticity and promote synaptic connections in the brain.
Low-dose ketamine can be an effective tool in therapy. It allows users to experience personal insights, reduced physical and mental pain, and maintain clarity, making it easier to achieve personal growth and healing through psychotherapy, meditation, or other practices.
Some people using SSRIs (antidepressants) may choose ketamine as an alternative or supplement. SSRIs can have side effects like insomnia, muscle pain, nausea, blurred vision, and drowsiness, and they typically take two to four weeks to be effective. Ketamine, on the other hand, may work faster and with fewer side effects.
We know that ketamine modulates additional receptor types, but the glutamate receptors seem to play the most important role in ketamine’s ability to treat depression and anxiety.
Neurons have a number of different binding sites for glutamate, but when it comes to ketamine, two are of particular interest: the NMDA receptor and the AMPA receptor.
By increasing the level of glutamate transmission while also shifting the balance of glutamate activation from NMDA to AMPA receptors, ketamine rapidly upregulates neuronal production and release of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Aptly called fertilizer for the brain, BDNF is a protein that helps promote the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons—in other words, it enhances neuroplasticity.
The answer is often yes. Each person’s health profile is unique, and during your video consultation, a clinician will work with you to determine the best treatment plan based on your evaluation and health history. Some medications are contraindicated with ketamine, so please be sure to walk through your current medications with your clinician.
Some Impact clients have been able to safely taper off their anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications under the close supervision of their existing psychiatric providers, following improvements from ketamine therapy.
In addition to ketamine for anxiety, ketamine therapy is backed by research and used by Impact to treat depression.
Ketamine has also been used successfully to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), OCD, chronic pain, and is an emerging treatment for other diagnoses.
