What is ketamine therapy?
Ketamine therapy is a medically supervised treatment in which a low dose of ketamine is given in a monitored clinical setting, usually for depression that hasn't improved enough with other treatments. Ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic, so its use for depression is off-label, and results vary and are not guaranteed.
Ketamine acts on glutamate, one of the brain's main chemical messengers, which is different from how most antidepressants work. Ketamine therapy in Vero Beach is combined with ongoing psychiatric care and therapy, not used on its own.
Who ketamine therapy is for
It may be considered for adults with depression that hasn't responded well enough to other treatments. Every patient is screened first with a psychiatric evaluation, medical history, current medications and vital signs.
It may not be suitable if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure or certain heart conditions, a history of psychosis or current substance misuse, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have certain other conditions. We'll explain this at your evaluation and coordinate with your existing providers.
How ketamine therapy works
Each session includes time to rest and recover afterwards. Most people start with a series of sessions over at least 3 months, then move to maintenance.
Safety + monitoring in office
Every session takes place in a private, calm treatment room in our Vero Beach office. Your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels are monitored throughout, and our clinical team checks on you during the session. You’ll rest until the effects wear off, and you must have someone else drive you home.
