What Is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a legal, safe, and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It has rapid antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, often noticeable within hours and can last for weeks.
It works by targeting the neurotransmitter glutamate, which influences mood and thought patterns. It promotes neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections.
Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, nasal spray, and sublingual lozenges. Client’s who work with therapists through Journey Clinical will use the sublingual lozenge form.
