What is Ketamine?

Esketamine is a medication derived from the anesthetic ketamine that has been shown to alleviate depressive symptoms rapidly, offering hope to those for whom other treatments have failed. After being safely used for decades, ketamine has been approved for the treatment of conditions like treatment-resistant depression and certain mood disorders, offering a promising option for individuals who haven’t found relief with traditional therapies. Unlike oral antidepressants, which can take weeks to show results, esketamine often works within hours or days. 

Esketamine is believed to work by blocking a specific brain receptor called NMDA. This action helps relieve depression and pain by changing how the brain processes these signals. In addition to reducing symptoms, it can also help regrow neural pathways, which are connections in the brain that may have been weakened by depression. Our Florida ketamine therapy gives patients the opportunity to safely receive the benefits of ketamine under the supervision of a board-certified medical professional.

Ketamine Treatment at APH

Our ketamine therapy in Florida is designed for adults with treatment-resistant depression who have tried at least two other antidepressant therapies without significant improvement. It is also approved for individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. 

To determine if ketamine treatment is right for you or a loved one, our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, considering factors such as

    • History of depression and prior treatment failures
    • Severity and duration of symptoms 
    • Presence of suicidal ideation
    • Overall medical history and any contraindications.

At APH, we follow specific protocols based on individual needs and response to the treatment. Typically, treatment begins with twice-weekly sessions for the first four weeks. After this initial phase, sessions are usually reduced to once weekly for another four weeks. Depending on progress, the frequency may decrease to once every 1-2 weeks for maintenance.

Ketamine is a groundbreaking therapy that can provide relief from major depression within hours. Given that it has the potential to distort your perception during the first two hours after intake, our ketamine treatment in Florida is administered in a safe outpatient clinic setting under doctor supervision. You will remain under observation until potential side effects have passed.
