Why Ketamine is Effective for Anxiety Treatment
It’s Rapidly Effective
Ketamine’s benefits often begin to appear within hours, and clinical trials with intravenous ketamine have shown peak mood elevation about 24-36 hours after treatment.
You Don’t Have to Take it Every Day
Unlike other psychiatric medications that are typically taken daily, ketamine treatments are far less frequent. Our clients often begin by taking medication weekly during their initial four-session program and then increase the duration between treatments in subsequent programs.
It can enhance neuroplasticity and promote awareness of new perspectives
The biological and neurochemical basis of ketamine creates a fertile brain state for making powerful, positive changes in your life. Ketamine helps release BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which helps promote the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons, enhancing neuroplasticity.
The actions and behaviors you take can be received more fully, and settle in more naturally, through the neuroplastic state ketamine induces.

FAQ
What is the neuroscience behind ketamine therapy for anxiety disorders and symptoms?
We know that ketamine modulates additional receptor types, but the glutamate receptors seem to play the most important role in ketamine’s ability to treat anxiety and depression.
Neurons have a number of different binding sites for glutamate, but when it comes to ketamine, two are of particular interest: the NMDA receptor and the AMPA receptor.
By increasing the level of glutamate transmission while also shifting the balance of glutamate activation from NMDA to AMPA receptors, ketamine rapidly upregulates neuronal production and release of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Aptly called fertilizer for the brain, BDNF is a protein that helps promote the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons—in other words, it enhances neuroplasticity.

Can I use ketamine for anxiety treatment if I’m on other anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications?
The answer is often yes. Each person’s health profile is unique, and during your video consultation, a clinician will work with you to determine the best treatment plan based on your evaluation and health history. Some medications are contraindicated with ketamine, so please be sure to walk through your current medications with your clinician.
Some Mindbloom clients have been able to safely taper off their anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications under the close supervision of their existing psychiatric providers, following improvements from ketamine therapy.

How does ketamine for anxiety work?
Ketamine is believed to produce its therapeutic effects through several novel mechanisms of action - increasing production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and reducing activity in the default mode network (DMN).
By decreasing activity in the DMN and enhancing neuroplasticity, ketamine can help your brain discover new perspectives and replace faulty, negative thought patterns with positive ones in the process.
For individuals with anxiety, neuroplasticity is diminished by chronic stress, fatigue, excessive worry, and other anxiety-related symptoms.

How long will it take to see results or outcomes from my treatment?
Treatment outcomes are unique to each individual. However, ketamine treatment can be effective within hours, and some clients report positive outcomes after their first session. A small percentage can achieve lifelong results after initial sessions.
To achieve lasting outcomes, we recommend our clients play an active role in their treatment and work closely with their clinician and guide to integrate the benefits of treatment into their day-to-day lives.
