If you keep up with the news then chances are, you have heard about the exciting recent discoveries that have been made when it comes to ketamine therapy. This is one of those rare instances in which you should actually investigate the hype. Those who suffer from depression know how devastating and isolating it can feel. There have been so many advancements made in modern medicine but unfortunately, depression has remained very difficult to treat for some patients. That is where ketamine therapy comes in. Now, there is a reason why medical professionals are very interested in the potential of ketamine therapy. It has been a long time coming but finally, there is a new way to treat depression for those for whom the methods of the past have not effective. The Sad Stats About Pills Used to Treat Depression It has been over thirty years since Prozac was first introduced to the public. In the beginning, it was touted as a miracle drug. Within just a few short years, 4.5 million people were taking the drug to treat their depression. There were adverse side effects, though, that many did not see coming. One of those side effects included a higher risk of suicide in some patients. There were also criminal cases where defendants claimed Prozac made them act out in ways they otherwise would not. In fact, according to a report by the BBC, 28 murders have been linked to antidepressants drugs in the past 30 years in the UK. It has become clear that this was not the medical drug that many of those who suffer from depression were looking for. It is said that each year, there are as many as 16 million people who experience major, life-altering depression. A staggering number of those people who are given pharmaceutical treatment do not respond well. In fact, nearly one in three people will not see any improvements at all. Of those who do respond well, it can take up to eight weeks before they start feeling any improvement at all. That is far too long when you are desperate for help. Eight weeks under the cloud of depression can literally be the difference between life and death. It is difficult to open up your Facebook page these days without seeing a post about another person who has tragically lost their battle with depression. There have been far too many lives lost to this tragic illness. It no longer has to be this way for those who respond well to ketamine therapy. There is a Better Way to Treat Your Depression Ketamine therapy can work in one of the most important ways imaginable for severe depression. It can work almost immediately for many patients. That’s right. Its positive effects can be felt upon administering the initial dosage. Imagine being able to receive the help you need when you need it. Not two months down the road. This incredible treatment could literally save lives. According to a podcast that was recently featured on Bulletproof Radio, ketamine is being seen by many as a sort of wonder drug. Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Ben Spielberg was one of the early professionals to recognize the positive impact that ketamine can have on the brain. In fact, he was one of the first people to use ketamine to treat depression. He told Bulletproof Radio, “I had patients who it’s basically taken them from being suicidal to living a very full and complete life. Some return on a periodic basis and some of them have just stopped coming in because they’ve been helped so immensely.” It is true that in study after study, the positive effects of ketamine are being proven in the lives of everyday people who once suffered from depression so debilitating, it was difficult for them to face the day. Now, they are not only able to face the day, but they are also able to face the rest of their lives. It’s like a great weight has been lifted. Perhaps ketamine therapy is the solution you have been looking for.

Reviews

As someone who has struggled with depression for years, I was skeptical about trying alternative treatment options. However, the team at Bespoke Treatment made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. Not only did their TMS therapy provide significant relief for my depression symptoms, but I also had a positive experience with their ketamine therapy. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had.

I can't recommend this place enough. I had an incredible experience with the treatment I received here. From the administrative staff to the medical team, I really appreciated the outstanding care and attention I received and always felt listened to. There was never any sense of rushing or a "one size fits all" approach, which is sadly very much the norm elsewhere. I highly recommend coming here for the excellent quality of services, professionalism, and warmth that are so important when you're needing mental health treatment.

TMS was amazing for me . I loved my treatments , the doctors, the staff as well as the office itself. Its an amazing place to go for your wellbeing . Everyone is super nice, kind and extremely professional. The place is very easy to get to with available parking. Basically no stress. I felt very comfortable with my technician and all his knowledge about TMS . I also loved Dr. Fahimian . He is extremely educated and knowable in his field. His patience in taking his time to answer all my questions and concerns were highly appreciated.

I was severely depressed when starting treatment. I could not handle meds and had big hopes that TMS would work. It absolutely did wonders for lifting my depression. I have my life back. I have motivation to do things and energy to achieve goals. I really wasn’t sure if the TMS method would work, but it did and I am forever grateful. It even helped with my ruminating thoughts. I’m able to be in the moment and get back into doing things I enjoy. I highly recommend TMS to anyone who needs it.

Yes, we accept insurance!
