anxiety treatment
 

At Balance Ketamine Clinics in Chicago, we have been treating anxiety patients who did not respond to multiple medications. Ketamine can play an important role in the ketamine treatment of anxiety disorders. However, between 30% and 40% of these patients will not achieve remission, despite 3 or 4 different traditional agents, and even with evidence-based psychotherapies. Ketamine is a novel agent that is rapidly effective for an array of anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder (SAD) and PTSD.

 
 
 
 

Ketamine may also be useful as an adjunct in other severe and treatment-resistant conditions where first-line treatment has not been successful. These include anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) which is characterized by constant intrusive thoughts and accompanying repetitive behavior and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with or without depressive symptoms.

For depression, the doses of ketamine used are much lower than the dose for anesthesia, making it relatively safe. That said, ketamine does carry the risk of changing your blood pressure and heart rate, which we will monitor throughout the ketamine infusion therapy. Longer-term risks include urinary symptoms, cognitive impairment (with prolonged use), and substance use disorders. We will monitor for these symptoms throughout the treatment.
