OCD is debilitative for a patient all the time. Unlike mood disorders which often have episodic “swings”, OCD presents a constant debilitation all the time for the person living with it.

The effects of ketamine are almost immediate. Patients find relief soon after the infusion session and the effects can last for many days. Hydroxynorketamine is a chemical that is produced when the body breaks down ketamine, and it could hold the keys to explain the effect of ketamine on OCD. Long term studies of intravenous infusion of ketamine in low doses have not seen any addictive side effects.

We use a low dose intravenous delivery directly into your blood stream. Study have shown this is a safe and is not habit forming. However if you have a history of substance abuse please discuss this with our doctors during your initial consultation.
