Depression symptoms usually include at least some of the following issues.
Your medical care provider at Nova Vita Wellness Centers may determine IV ketamine therapy for depression is right for you if you have symptoms that persist for at least two weeks, and those symptoms represent a notable change in your ability to function normally. If you are feeling depressed, it is important to get help right away. If you find that therapy and other medications aren’t working, Nova Vita Wellness Centers specializes in providing relief of major depressive disorder.
There are a variety of treatment options for depression, with the two most common being antidepressant medications and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is certainly helpful, but it does take some time to see benefits, so it’s usually part of a treatment plan that includes medication.
Unfortunately, many people experience a lot of frustration with depression treatment because antidepressants take weeks (or months) to start working. Also, antidepressants don’t work the same way for everyone, so you might need to try two, three, four, or more drugs before you find one that helps.
If you’re living with depression and you can’t find a treatment that works for you, IV ketamine therapy at Nova Vita Wellness Centers can relieve your symptoms faster and more effectively than oral medication.
Ketamine was first used as an anesthetic, but today it increasingly helps people who have frustrating long-term depression that doesn’t respond to other treatments.
Ketamine prompts production of an important brain neurotransmitter called glutamate, which encourages your brain to develop new, neural healthy connections. This means that ketamine can essentially help your brain to develop new wiring and adapt to healthier thought patterns.
Research shows that ketamine may also reduce inflammation and improve specific aspects of brain communication. There are still some unknowns about how ketamine works, but regardless, it can be a true game-changing treatment for people who struggle with chronic depression.
Ketamine also helps people with chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and severe anxiety to live more comfortable lives, free from the frustrating confines of their condition.

Depression symptoms often include ongoing sadness, hopelessness, lack of interest in activities, sleep and appetite changes, low energy, and pulling away from others. If these last over two weeks and affect your daily life, it could be clinical depression. Talk to a provider about treatment options like IV ketamine therapy.
Severe depression is often treated with antidepressants and psychotherapy. While these help many people, they can take weeks to work and may not be effective for everyone. If other treatments have failed, IV ketamine therapy may offer faster relief. Talk to a provider to explore the best option for you.
Ketamine treats depression by boosting glutamate, which helps the brain form new, healthy connections. This can quickly improve mood and reduce symptoms when other treatments have failed.
