At the Renew Ketamine Infusion Clinic & Wellness Center, we’re committed to providing effective solutions that can help you reclaim your life from the grips of depression. If you’re searching for depression treatment in Seal Beach, we are here to help.

Understanding Depression and Its Challenges

Depression isn’t just a feeling of sadness; it’s a complex mental health condition that can affect every aspect of your daily life. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Many individuals struggle with treatment-resistant depression, meaning they have not found relief through standard antidepressant medications or therapy.

The struggle with depression can feel isolating, but it’s crucial to understand that effective treatment options exist. Depression treatment in Seal Beach includes innovative options like Ketamine therapy, which has emerged as a promising solution, providing rapid relief for many patients who have not found success with traditional methods.

The Science Behind Ketamine Therapy

Research shows that Ketamine can promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize itself. This is particularly important for those suffering from depression, as it can help “reset” the brain’s pathways that are often altered by prolonged periods of mental distress. Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to show effects, many patients report significant improvements within just hours of their first treatment process.

Our approach combines Ketamine therapy with integrative psychotherapy. This comprehensive treatment method enhances the benefits of Ketamine, allowing patients to process their experiences and emotions more effectively.

Ketamine therapy can be especially beneficial for individuals who:

  1. Have been diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression
  2. Are experiencing chronic pain alongside depression
  3. Struggle with anxiety, PTSD, or other mood disorders

FAQs:

Q1: Does depression get worse with age?
Depression can worsen with age if left untreated, especially due to factors like chronic illness, social isolation, or cognitive decline. However, with proper treatment, including therapy and medication, symptoms can be managed effectively at any age.

Q2: What is the root cause of depression?
Depression has multiple causes, including genetic predisposition, chemical imbalances in the brain, traumatic life events, chronic stress, and underlying medical conditions. A combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors often contributes to its development.

Q3: Is depression really a chemical imbalance?
The idea that depression is solely due to a chemical imbalance (such as low serotonin levels) is overly simplistic. While neurotransmitters play a role, depression is influenced by complex interactions between brain structure, hormones, genetics, and life experiences.

Q4: What are the top 3 symptoms of depression?
The top three symptoms of depression are:

  1. Persistent sadness or low mood.
  2. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed.
  3. Fatigue or lack of energy, even after rest.

Q5: What is the new treatment for depression?
Some of the latest treatments for depression include ketamine therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and psychedelic-assisted therapy (e.g., psilocybin or MDMA in clinical settings). These treatments offer promising results, particularly for individuals with treatment-resistant depression.

OCD

Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD) is unfortunately resistant to many forms of medical treatment including both medication and therapy.

Ketamine has been shown to be an effective, fast acting, safe option for patients with OCD. Over the course of the Ketamine infusions (2-4 weeks) neuroplasticity can lead to a change or abatement in the intrusive, repetitive thoughts and behaviors that typify OCD.

When combined with our unique post infusion integration process, patients with severe OCD can see profound relief of their symptoms.

Chronic Pain

“There is extensive research currently being done on this topic. I can say from personal experience as a practicing Board Certified Pain Medicine Physician, I have had patients with chronic pain, including fibromyalgia, who have had significant relief of their symptoms with Ketamine assisted therapy. With that said, Ketamine assisted therapy will definitely not work for everyone with chronic pain, and each patient will require a thorough evaluation to ensure they are an adequate candidate for a trial of Ketamine assisted therapy for relief of their chronic pain” -Dr. Justin Yanuck.

The current evidence of Ketamine assisted therapy for chronic pain is fairly mixed. The majority of studies only looked at ketamine infusion without any assisted psychotherapy.

Ketamine has the ability to lead to relief on its own (and the mechanisms for this have been well studied). We feel quite strongly that the real potential for Ketamine to provide relief, especially for chronic pain patients, is when combined with psychotherapy. Psychotherapy allows the individual to process their experience and build off this experience to lead to new psychological frameworks for processing both internal and external stimuli.

Pain is complex, and Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is not one-size-fits-all. Our treatment plan gives patients with treatment-resistant chronic pain and even opiate dependance a chance to try a different and effective treatment.

PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a major public health concern, affecting up to 7% of Americans.

As many as half of all Americans with PTSD get inadequate relief from traditional treatments which include antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Ketamine combined with psychotherapy has been shown to be very effective at reducing the symptoms of PTSD. These effects last well beyond its near immediate relief.

Many mechanistic actions for how Ketamine works in PTSD have been proposed.

Ketamine allows people to reacquaint themselves with their past inciting trauma from an emotionally neutral perspective. Ketamine will not make you forget about the trauma. It can allow you to acknowledge its occurrence in a neutral way in order to not be continually re-traumatized by thinking about it.

Depending on the patient, outcomes can be noticed almost immediately with a sense of lightness and joy. Ketamine followed by psychotherapy has been shown to lead to significant relief of the burdens of PTSD.

Anxiety

Traditional treatments for anxiety will often either work poorly, have addictive properties, or severe side effects including brain fog and drowsiness. Furthermore, these treatments tend to have reduced efficacy over time, and lead to only transient relief of symptoms.

Ketamine, when combined with our novel integrative psychotherapy, can lead to significant relief of anxiety.

During the ketamine infusion and integration process, patients will often get a better understanding of their anxiety, and are able to reframe many of the triggers that often provoke their anxiety.

Ketamine has properties that allow for rewiring of the brain (new synapse formation and repair of existing synapses). Ketamine allows people to effect changes into their own lives. It shows people that they have the power to heal from within and take control of their relationship with anxiety.

Depression

Ketamine has been shown to be extremely effective and safe for patients with depression and treatment resistant depression (those who fail to get relief from two or more antidepressants).

Ketamine is highly effective at rapidly (within 2-8 hours) reducing depressive symptoms. Traditional antidepressants often take weeks to months to work.

Many traditional antidepressants have side effects including reduced libido, weight gain, GI upset, mood disturbances, and unfortunately require daily use for months to years.

Many antidepressants, even if they do work, require you to be on them for years, if not for the rest of your life.

Ketamine treatment has been shown in most patients to lead to resolution of symptoms without the need for any further medications.

Ketamine is not a medication meant to be taken for the rest of your life. The goal is to provide sustained relief after the completion of a set treatment plan. This is accomplished by combining the actions of Ketamine in the brain with psychotherapy. Additional enhancement sessions available as needed.

Unfortunately, there is a significant subset of patients that do not get significant relief from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. Ketamine acts as a catalyst to stimulate a patient’s innate capacity for psychological healing. This allows patients to overcome past experiences and learned behavior to truly heal. Ketamine, combined with therapists who are specifically trained to work with psychedelic therapies, can lead to profound breakthroughs and deep psychological healing.
