Ketamine for Depression

Fast, lasting relief for major depression, postpartum depression, and more

Charleston Ketamine Center provides ketamine infusion therapy for individuals living with treatment-resistant depression. This includes those who have tried multiple antidepressants, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes with little or no improvement.

Ketamine is changing the landscape of mental health treatment. It works differently from traditional antidepressants by rapidly enhancing synaptic connections in the brain, restoring communication between mood-regulating centers. Patients often begin to feel relief within hours or days of their first treatment.

How It Works

Ketamine is administered through a series of IV infusions over one to two weeks. Each session lasts approximately 45 to 60 minutes and is performed in a private, comfortable setting under clinical supervision.

Our team will evaluate your history, current symptoms, and previous treatment experiences to create a personalized plan. We also track your progress after each infusion to adjust treatment as needed and ensure you’re seeing real benefits.

Conditions We Treat

We treat a range of depressive disorders, including:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
  • Postpartum Depression
  • Bipolar Depression (during depressive phases)
  • Suicidal ideation
  • Treatment-resistant depression

Many patients who have exhausted other options find ketamine infusions to be a turning point. The therapy is safe, fast-acting, and effective, with over 70% of patients reporting significant symptom improvement.

What Patients Experience

Patients often describe:

  • A lift in mood and energy
  • Reduction in negative thought patterns
  • Increased motivation and emotional stability
  • Decreased suicidal thoughts

Unlike medications that take weeks to build up in your system, ketamine often brings clarity and calm within the first few infusions.
