Ketamine Treatments for PTSD in Dallas
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of events or set of circumstances. An individual may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening and may affect mental, physical, social, and/or spiritual well-being. Examples include natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist acts, war/combat, rape/sexual assault, historical trauma, intimate partner violence and bullying.
Taking medication and going to psychological counseling (psychotherapy) ease PTSD symptoms for most people. But in some cases, standard treatments aren’t enough. If you have been treated for PTSD 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 Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). 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.
