Ketamine therapy has shown promise in treating OCD, especially in patients who have not responded well to traditional OCD treatments. Ketamine is thought to work by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters like glutamate and GABA, which are associated with anxiety regulation. It also promotes the growth of new brain cells and reduces inflammation in the brain, leading to long-lasting relief from OCD symptoms.
Ketamine therapy is a promising alternative to traditional OCD treatments because it works quickly and effectively. Traditional OCD treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication, can take weeks or months to take effect, and some patients do not respond well to them. Ketamine therapy, on the other hand, can produce significant improvements in mood and OCD symptoms within hours to days after a single infusion. Additionally, Ketamine has a lower risk of side effects than traditional OCD treatments.
