Ketamine Treatment

While about 70 percent of clinically depressed people are responsive to antidepressant medications—and are able to find some degree of relief, around 30 percent of patients continue to suffer from depression.

Those 30 percent often spend years trying different medications and treatment options often without relief or intolerable side effects. Patients are told their depression is treatment resistant, and many simply give up. If only they had been made aware of Ketamine treatment for the treatment of depression.

In the majority of cases, Ketamine is effective for patients that are resistant to standard treatments. Often, clients feel a relief of their depression symptoms after the very first dose!

If you would like to speak to Dr. Wasek for a ketamine consult to see if you are an appropriate candidate for Ketamine treatment, please call the office at 385-272-4292.
