Why Ketamine for Anxiety?
Ketamine works by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a key role in regulating mood, stress, and thought patterns. One of its most powerful effects is boosting neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections, which may help break the cycle of repetitive, anxious thinking.
Research shows that ketamine can offer significant relief for people struggling with anxiety, especially when traditional treatments haven’t been effective. It has shown promise across a range of anxiety disorders, including:
Most patients begin with a short series of six infusions over 2–3 weeks, and many start noticing changes within just a few days.
Ketamine for Anxiety
Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants. It is believed to have a rapid antidepressant effect, often working within hours to days after administration, compared to the weeks or months it may take for traditional antidepressants to show results.
Ketamine for Anxiety
By blocking NMDA receptors, ketamine affects glutamate transmission. This modulation of glutamate is thought to trigger a cascade of molecular and cellular changes that contribute to its antidepressant effects which have also been found to settle symptoms of anxiety. Ketamine may promote synaptic plasticity, which refers to the ability of synapses (connections between neurons) to strengthen or weaken over time. This synaptic plasticity is believed to be crucial for learning and memory processes, and disruptions in synaptic plasticity have been implicated in mood disorders including anxiety. Ketamine’s impact on synaptic plasticity may play a role in its antidepressant effects and soothing impact on anxiety symptoms.
