Anxiety Treatment
Stressful lifestyle, challenges at the workplace, unhealthy habits, illness, and heredity factors contribute to the occurrence of anxiety. In recent decades, anxiety has become a common problem for many men and women. If the problem remains persistent or becomes severe, it will require professional treatment. Ketamine Therapy may help to treat anxiety, depression, and mood disorders in many patients.
Dr. Steven L Mandel of the Ketamine Clinics of Los Angeles provides state of the art treatments for anxiety and related issues. Dr. Mandel will adopt a customized treatment approach after determining the nature and degree of anxiety levels in a patient and assessing the underlying causes. He provides ketamine infusion treatments for anxiety to patients in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, California, and surrounding communities and other areas in this part of the country.
Low Dose Treatment
To ensure total patient safety and achieve successful results in a targeted manner, Dr. Mandel will prescribe only low lose Ketamine Infusion Therapy for patients suffering from anxiety and related symptoms. The treatment is typically prescribed in cases where the patient has failed to respond well to other forms of treatment.
The treatment provider will ensure that Ketamine Therapy is administered in very low doses. This allows for total safety, easy tolerance, and minimal risk of side effects for the patient. Such low dose treatments can be delivered in an office setting, ensuring complete comfort and convenience of the patient.
Another advantage with ketamine is that even patients who have previously tried multiple treatment options and have been labeled as treatment resistant can achieve satisfactory results with IV Ketamine Therapy. Patients who seek ketamine treatments for anxiety related conditions have typically experienced little to no success with other solutions.
But some patients may also get relief against anxiety and depression with ketamine as an early line of defense. When the treatment is administered by IV in a safe and professional treatment environment by a qualified provider, patients can expect to achieve quick and predictable improvement in their condition with no long term side effects.
Avoiding Anti-Anxiety Pills and Antidepressants
Conventional anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants will usually take a long time to work effectively and reach therapeutic levels in the body. Sometimes it may be weeks or months before the patient experiences relief with these medications. Even then, many patients may not succeed in achieving sufficient relief.
Ketamine infusion treatments, on the other hand, work quickly to relieve anxiety and related symptoms. Sometimes the patient can experience substantive relief in a matter of hours. Most of the patients will be able to achieve significant relief within a day or two of their first or second infusion.
Unlike conventional medications, ketamine for anxiety will produce relief without subjecting the patient to unpleasant side effects. Patients who use anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications may typically experience side effects such as weight gain, insomnia, loss of libido, sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, blurred vision, dry mouth and suicidal ideation.
These side effects will be entirely avoided with ketamine. Once the patient or their physician determines that conventional medications are not able to deliver adequate relief, they may consider Ketamine Infusion Therapy for better outcomes.
