Ketamine has been around for more than 50 years and has helped hundreds of thousands of people with mental health issues. Ketamine infusions hasten the antidepressant effect of Ketamine. This effect is beneficial for people who have struggled with chronic mental health conditions, such as depression.

In the treatment of depression, most people respond to an infusion of Ketamine. The success rate for depression ranges from 80 to 90 percent. The success rate for bipolar disorder ranges from 50 to 60 percent. The reason why Ketamine works is that it provides a short burst of euphoria shortly after infusion, which acts as an antidepressant. By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, the brain believes that life is better.

The key to making your Ketamine infusions more effective is to take them as often as possible and at the lowest dose that works for you. To maximize the benefits of this treatment, you should practice deep relaxation and meditation before and after treatment. Deep relaxation can be achieved through breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery, such as listening to a specific sound or repeating a phrase. Some patients prefer listening to music or watching a movie along with the soundtrack of their choice.

You should also avoid eating or drinking anything for at least two hours before your infusion session.

During the infusion, ensure that you are sitting in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Once your mind is relaxed, your body and your muscles will slowly become more loose and relaxed. Focus on feelings of inner peace and contentment as you breathe in and out through your nose.

The most common treatments for depression include the use of SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). Such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil. Because the drugs are taken orally, it can take weeks to months to notice any improvement.

People who have participated in Ketamine infusions have noticed a rapid improvement in their depression. In addition, people who have also taken Ketamine have also found that Ketamine has increased their self-esteem and drastically improved moods.

The use of Ketamine has now been approved by the FDA and is being used worldwide in various clinical trials to treat depression and other mental health conditions.
