Breakthrough Treatment for Trauma
Post-traumatic stress disorder affects millions, yet traditional treatments often provide limited relief. Ketamine therapy offers a new path forward for those suffering from PTSD.
PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While many people recover from trauma over time, some individuals continue to experience severe symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. This is when professional treatment becomes necessary.
How Ketamine Treats PTSD
Ketamine works differently from traditional PTSD treatments. While conventional therapies can take months to show improvement, ketamine often provides relief within days. The treatment works through several mechanisms:
- Disrupts traumatic memory reconsolidation: Helps process trauma differently
- Reduces hyperarousal: Calms overactive stress response
- Promotes emotional flexibility: Breaks rigid trauma responses
- Enhances therapy effectiveness: Makes psychotherapy more productive
