Why Choose Ketamine Therapy for PTSD?

Rapid Reduction in Symptoms

 Standard antidepressants, such as SSRIs and SNRIs, can take 6 to 12 weeks before patients feel noticeable improvement. Ketamine, by contrast, often produces measurable relief within 24 hours after just one infusion, thanks to its powerful, fast-acting impact on glutamate-based neural activity.

How Ketamine Works for PTSD Recovery

PTSD alters the way the brain processes fear, memory, and stress. Ketamine helps reverse this by blocking NMDA receptors, which are involved in overactive glutamate transmission—a key contributor to PTSD-related neural dysfunction.

Ketamine enhances neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself—by activating the mTOR and BDNF pathways, two mechanisms known to stimulate new synaptic connections in regions tied to emotional regulation, memory, and mood.

By doing so, ketamine doesn’t simply mask symptoms—it targets the brain’s trauma circuitry directly, helping individuals process distress in a more balanced and healthy way.

The Science Behind the Results

  • Single-Dose Impact: A 0.5 mg/kg IV ketamine infusion has been shown to reduce PTSD severity by 30% to 50% within just 24 hours in multiple controlled studies.
  • Multi-Session Results: A course of six infusions over two weeks has resulted in sustained symptom improvement lasting several weeks, with many patients reporting decreased flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional reactivity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ketamine for PTSD

When will I start feeling better?

Many patients report feeling significant emotional relief within 24 to 48 hours of their first infusion.

Ketamine for PTSD is considered an off-label treatment, so insurance coverage varies. We’ll assist you with verifying benefits and navigating financing or payment options.

Clinical data shows that symptom relief can last for 3 to 4 weeks after a full treatment series. Ongoing maintenance infusions or KAP can help extend these benefits for many patients.
