Anxiety & PTSD Treatment
At StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine, we provide innovative care for individuals experiencing anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), using advanced therapies designed to deliver rapid and lasting symptom relief.
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety involves ongoing feelings of worry, fear, or unease that can disrupt your daily life. Symptoms often include mental restlessness, fatigue, and physical discomfort such as headaches or digestive issues. Our clinic offers modern solutions, including ketamine therapy, to help reduce these symptoms and restore your sense of well-being.
What is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to traumatic events. Common symptoms include distressing memories, avoidance of reminders, heightened alertness, and emotional numbness. These symptoms can affect relationships, work, and overall quality of life, but effective treatments are available.
Benefits of Ketamine Therapy
Rapid Symptom Relief
Many individuals experience significant improvement in anxiety and PTSD symptoms within hours or days after starting ketamine therapy, which is notably faster than traditional treatments.
Improved Brain Function
Ketamine stimulates the growth of new neural connections, helping to rewire pathways linked to anxiety and trauma, which supports long-term recovery and improved cognitive function.
Reduced Side Effects
Compared to conventional medications, ketamine therapy is associated with fewer side effects, such as drowsiness or weight changes, making it a suitable option for many patients.
Sustained Improvement
The benefits of ketamine can last beyond the initial treatment period, with many patients reporting ongoing relief and enhanced daily functioning.
Supportive and Individualized Care
Our dedicated team ensures your comfort and safety, providing compassionate, personalized care throughout your treatment journey.
