Ketamine Treatment for Bipolar Disorder in Dallas
Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes changes in a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. People with bipolar disorder experience intense emotional states that typically occur during distinct periods of days to weeks, called mood episodes. These mood episodes are categorized as manic/hypomanic (abnormally happy or irritable mood) or depressive (sad mood). People with bipolar disorder generally have periods of neutral mood as well. When treated, people with bipolar disorder can lead full and productive lives.
People without bipolar disorder experience mood fluctuations as well. However, these mood changes typically last hours rather than days. Also, these changes are not usually accompanied by the extreme degree of behavior change or difficulty with daily routines and social interactions that people with bipolar disorder demonstrate during mood episodes. Bipolar disorder can disrupt a person’s relationships with loved ones and cause difficulty in working or going to school.
If you have been treated for bipolar disorder and things don’t seem to be getting better speak to your primary care provider or Zenfusions to see if Ketamine might be an option for you.
Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that’s been widely used worldwide for over fifty years. In the year 2000 medical researchers started studying ketamine for the treatment of depression. Ketamine proved effective, especially for patients resistant to treatments with typical antidepressants. Researchers discovered that Ketamine improves mood faster than traditional antidepressant drugs and works for some individuals who suffer from Bipolar Disorders. While Ketamine isn’t considered a first-line therapy for chronic pain, depression, or any other mental health disorder, it can be used off-label to treat severe cases of depression, anxiety, and PTSD that haven’t responded to conventional medications or therapies.

Benefits of Ketamine for Bipolar Disorder
Ketamine infusion therapy offers unique potential for those suffering from bipolar disorder. At Zenfusions Ketamine Clinic in Dallas, Texas, they provide individualized intravenous ketamine infusion treatments to combat this oftentimes devastating mental health condition. Ketamine triggers glutamate production, which, in a complex, cascading series of events prompts the brain to form new neuronal connections. This makes the brain more adaptable and able to create new pathways.
Additionally, Zenfusions have advanced monitoring systems to ensure patient safety throughout the course of the treatment. With many studies suggesting the positive effects of ketamine in treating major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression, this has become a promising option for many patients seeking alternative treatments for their bipolar disorder.
