What is Ketamine?
Ketamine, originally used as an anesthetic, has evolved into a powerful depression treatment. It comes in two forms: racemic ketamine, administered via bloodstream infusion, and a nasal spray version. Each type affects brain receptors differently, influencing their effectiveness in treating depression. IV and intramuscular ketamine have been shown to be more effective than nasal spray or sublingual tablets, which is why we use this version at Delos. Ketamine is effective against anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, and other mental health issues. When used responsibly, it can significantly enhance treatment by directly addressing symptoms of trauma and mental illness
How Does Ketamine Work?
Ketamine increases the neuroplasticity of your brain by ramping up the production of a crucial brain hormone called the “Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor.” This hormone has been proven to revitalize the connections of neurons that may have been damaged as a result of chronic depression or other conditions.
In addition to increased neuroplasticity, ketamine can also reduce inflammation and excitotoxicity by blocking NMDA receptors in your brain. It also increases the excitatory neurotransmitter “Glutamate”, activating parts of your brain that may be underactive in depression and anxiety.
Ketamine Assisted Therapy utilizes the psychedelic nature of Ketamine to produce positive mind-altering effects such as broadening your perspective on life and developing critical insights into negative behavioral patterns. Our treatment method allows patients to experience the antidepressant qualities of ketamine in a streamlined and highly effective method that delivers results much quicker than conventional treatment.
At lower doses, patients often experience a trance-like state, while patients who receive higher doses report a transformative psychedelic experience.
What is Ketamine Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP) is an innovative new treatment for major depression. Suicide rates in the United States have climbed roughly 30% from 2000 to 2020 and cases of major depression are rampant.
Ketamine can rapidly reduce life-threatening behaviors and suicidal thoughts, as well as alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders.
Many treatments for depression and suicidal thoughts take weeks or months to be effective, and it is not uncommon for patients to require trying multiple approaches and different medications before gaining relief.
The rapid effectiveness and results demonstrated by ketamine assisted therapy suggest it could be life-saving for those with cases of major depressive disorders and suicidal thoughts who can’t wait for the benefits of more traditional therapeutic solutions.
It is now understood that ketamine only works effectively for approximately a month’s time unless paired with other treatments. With ketamine-assisted therapy, patients can enjoy the long-term and life-changing benefits of therapy in harmony with the fast-acting effects of ketamine.

What can I expect from Ketamine Assisted Therapy?
Patients who respond well to ketamine-assisted therapy will experience fast relief of major depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts. Depending on the patient, the ketamine will be administered either as an intramuscular shot or as an infusion into the bloodstream.
Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic and psychedelic so patients may experience nausea, high blood pressure, dissociation, or perceptual disturbances (such as time appearing to slow down or speed up). Side effects are reviewed with each patient during their initial evaluation.
Rapid Results
Most antidepressants take weeks or months to show results, but ketamine delivers quick improvements, often within hours to days. Clinical trials indicate that patients can experience significant mood elevation as soon as 24-36 hours after the first dose.
Reduced Frequency
While many other psychiatric medications are typically administered daily, ketamine treatments are far less frequent, which results in less stress on the patient’s life, fewer doses required for maintenance, and a decreased probability of side effects.
Powerful, Lasting Change
Undertaking a guided ketamine experience can allow patients to enter an enhanced state of consciousness in which they can develop life-altering insights.
