How it works
A different approach from daily antidepressants
Most antidepressants work on serotonin and can take weeks to help, if they help at all. Ketamine works on glutamate, a brain chemical tied to mood and to how the brain forms new connections.
That's why many people notice a change within hours or days. It's also why ketamine is an option for people whose depression hasn't responded to other medications.
- Fast-acting compared to daily medications
- Supervised for safety at every session
- Personalized dose and schedule
- Can be combined with Exomind TMS or counseling
