PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD affects approximately 10% of the U.S. adult population and can happen when someone is exposed to serious injury, sexual violation, or the threat of death or injury. It is debilitating and can impact relationships, daily functioning, and occupational functioning. Symptoms can look different for different individuals and can include trouble concentrating, blaming oneself for trauma, anger outbursts, increased startled responses, hypervigilance,  insomnia, loss of emotional control, depression and irritability. These traumatic events  affect our ability to function in day-to-day life and can cause serious issues. We can help. 

 There are limited medication treatments for PTSD. Often, oral antidepressants are used and anticonvulsants and antihypertensive agents are considered. 

Research shows that Ketamine therapy can significantly and rapidly reduce symptoms of PTSD allowing the mind to explore ways to heal from trauma without the avoidance and hyperarousal that is typically seen in PTSD. Patients see things from a different perspective. In a safe clinical setting where the patient is monitored, Ketamine stimulates the mind to see things from a new perspective and allows patients to redefine the relationship between the self and the trauma experience. Patients report they are able to address the root cause of the symptoms instead of numbing or masking the symptoms. Push  button to schedule a free consultation.
