Ketamine Therapy for Pain Management

Ketamine, traditionally known as an anesthetic, has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for various mental health conditions. At Unika Medical Centre, we harness the rapid-acting antidepressant effects of ketamine to provide relief for patients suffering from depression, OCD, and addiction. Unlike conventional antidepressants, which can take weeks to show benefits, ketamine can alleviate depressive symptoms within hours to days. This rapid onset is particularly beneficial for individuals with treatment-resistant depression or those seeking to overcome addiction.

FAQs: Ketamine for Mental Health

Ketamine therapy is effective for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and certain chronic pain conditions.

Ketamine works by modulating neurotransmitters in the brain, providing rapid relief from symptoms often within hours or days.

Patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine eligibility, followed by a series of monitored treatment sessions in a safe, controlled environment.

Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, and mild dissociation. These effects are typically short-lived and monitored by our medical team.

The duration of Ketamine’s effects varies, but many patients experience significant symptom relief for several weeks or months, often requiring maintenance sessions.
