The doctors at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center now offer ketamine therapy to those suffering from difficult to manage depression. Columbia Psychiatry offers nasal ketamine spray treatments at their conveniently-located midtown offices. Ketamine has long been on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medications due to its safe and effective use as an anesthetic, and more recent research has shown it to also be a useful medication in treating difficult-to-manage psychiatric and chronic pain conditions. Columbia Psychiatry Ketamine treatments offer a research-driven alternative to conventional oral medications and their potential side-effects.
Recent randomized trials have shown that ketamine provides significant relief to those suffering from treatment-resistant conditions. Some patients experience relief of symptoms after only one treatment. If no significant positive outcomes are seen after 2 treatments, it is likely that ketamine is not a suitable option. Those over the age of 18 who have found little or no change in their condition through conventional means will find an effective alternative in Columbia Psychiatry ketamine treatments. It can be extremely difficult to live with treatment-resistant depression. Columbia Psychiatry provides ketamine therapy treatments in a safe and convenient location to suit the needs of their patients.
