Ketamine therapy is changing how we treat depression—especially in individuals who haven’t found relief through traditional antidepressants. At Dr. Jon Deam’s clinic, we provide ketamine therapy as a safe and evidence-based solution for treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
How Ketamine Works for Depression
Unlike SSRIs or SNRIs, which target serotonin or norepinephrine, ketamine works on the brain’s glutamate system—the most abundant neurotransmitter in the brain. By blocking NMDA receptors, ketamine enhances synaptic plasticity, helping the brain “rewire” itself and form new, healthy neural connections. This can lead to rapid improvement in mood, sometimes within hours.
