Ketamine produces a feeling of bodily detachment. Ketamine changes the way brain cells communicate with each other, and can actually enhance the neuroplasticity of the brain by modifying connectivity of the cell “circuitry.” Ketamine strengthens neural connections in the brain areas most affected by stress and negative thinking. Ketamine works on the messengers—neurotransmitters—of the brain that regulate neuroplasticity, emotions, and cognitive thought. 

Often, stress and other factors kill off those neuron messengers. A remarkable effect of ketamine is that it can help stimulate growth and regrowth of neurotransmitters, and even assist in rewiring parts of the brain. Ketamine has a calming and therapeutic effect on the regions of the brain that control mood and behavior. With its rapid antidepressant properties, it can give a boost of momentum, acting like a catalyst that helps break through mental barriers. When ketamine is combined with guided therapy, individuals can reach a state of lasting clarity and awareness.

Ketamine can help with treatment-resistant depression. Where most antidepressants fail to relieve severe depression, ketamine (when coupled with therapy) can provide rapid long-lasting relief and change.

Ketamine can help with suicidal ideation. Because of the way ketamine interacts with brain cells, it has a rapid effect on those parts of the brain responsible for emotions and cognitive thought. One report demonstrated that a single dose of ketamine, infused over a 40-minute period, quickly produced an antidepressant response. 

A single, 40-minute ketamine session can produce antidepressant effects that last up to a week. However, when an individual undergoes a series of ketamine infusions and combined with guided therapy, positive and long-lasting results can be achieved.

For many people, the period of reduced depressive symptoms results in a greater ability to function. Many people experience positive social interactions while being able to better manage stress. Ketamine treatments, accompanied by therapy, encourage positive lifestyle changes and healthier habits that also prolong the antidepressant effects.

The most common antidepressants used today often take weeks, or even longer, before showing any signs of relief. Traditional antidepressants are often accompanied by side effects, such as weight gain, nausea, drowsiness, or insomnia. In contrast to traditional antidepressants, ketamine is praised for its fast-acting ability to lift the weight of depression. 

The real benefit of ketamine comes when it is paired with therapy. Ketamine brings an individual to a state of vulnerability and awareness. From that point, therapy can guide a person through the process of recognizing emerging insights, and then learning how to integrate those insights and awareness to gain lasting relief. A person must reach a state of awareness before positive change can occur, and this is what ketamine and the Finding You program helps to facilitate.
