Mood disorders affect millions of people and can be difficult to treat with standard medications. Many patients try multiple antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or therapy with limited results. At Quad Cities Ketamine & Wellness Clinic, we offer an innovative, research-based option: ketamine infusion therapy.
BOOK NOWHow Ketamine Helps Mood Disorders
Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants:
- Resets brain chemistry by targeting the NMDA receptor
- Restores glutamate balance, improving communication between brain cells
- Promotes neuroplasticity, helping the brain form healthier connections
- May rapidly reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and bipolar depression
Many patients report relief after other treatments have failed.
Conditions We Treat with Ketamine
Ketamine for Depression
Treatment-resistant depression is one of the most common uses of ketamine. Research shows ketamine may relieve symptoms within hours to days, even when standard antidepressants haven’t worked.
Ketamine for Anxiety
Chronic anxiety can feel overwhelming. Ketamine may calm overactive neural circuits, easing worry, panic, and physical tension when other medications provide little relief.
Ketamine for PTSD
PTSD affects the brain’s trauma-processing pathways. Ketamine may help reduce intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and hyperarousal, allowing patients to regain control of daily life.
Ketamine for OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder involves repetitive, unwanted thoughts and compulsions. Ketamine has shown promise in reducing compulsive patterns and quieting intrusive thinking.
Ketamine for Bipolar Depression
Ketamine can be an option during depressive episodes of bipolar disorder, providing rapid relief without the long delay of traditional medications. Careful monitoring helps ensure safety and effectiveness.
