Depression and anxiety can feel overwhelming, leaving you stuck in negative thoughts and unable to enjoy life. But for many patients, IV ketamine therapy is opening a new path to healing—sometimes in just a single session.
In this Healing Highlight, we share the experience of a 57-year-old patient who saw profound changes after her first ketamine infusion.
A Patient’s Transformation
After her infusion, she described her experience:
-
Anxiety: “I haven’t worried, second-guessed myself, or over-explained. I feel totally chill.”
-
Depression: “I now have more energy. I don’t hate myself anymore. I’m not fully motivated yet, but I feel creative and alive.”
-
Past Trauma: “My past isn’t haunting me anymore.”

These statements show the quick and meaningful impact ketamine therapy can have on both mood and mental clarity.

Why IV Ketamine Therapy Works
Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants. It targets NMDA receptors in the brain, which helps to open neuroplasticity. In simple terms, it allows your brain to form new connections, reset negative patterns, and heal from trauma.
-
Fast-acting: Patients often notice improvements after just one session.
-
Long-lasting: Ketamine helps address the root causes of depression and anxiety, not just the symptoms.
-
Holistic healing: It can improve mood, creativity, energy, and reduce anxiety.
This is why so many patients, like the one in our Healing Highlight, experience real, measurable change after a single infusion (most often patients don’t experience this level of transformation until infusion 2-3, even 5. BUT! we love to shout out those who experience such life change after just one!).
