Deciding to seek help for a mental health issue is hard to do. Many people who suffer from issues like anxiety and depression try to “wait it out” or just ignore it, hoping that things with either improve on their own, or go away completely with time. Unfortunately, this does not usually happen. What usually happens is things get worse. Allowing issues like these to linger can cause serious harm, even if it is not initially obvious. They can manifest in painful or destructive behaviors, thereby causing even more problems. The safe and responsible thing to do when suffering from a mental illness is to seek out and accept any and all professional help, as quickly as possible.
People avoid treatment for any number of reasons. Most commonly, it is because of an aversion to taking pills or talking about difficult subjects with a doctor, or due to the negative stigma associated with mental health disorders. With perspective, it is easy to see why this leads to unnecessary suffering. However, for them, it may not be so obvious, and their job—finding relief—gets a lot harder.
Despite being a breakthrough depression treatment, the fact that ketamine is now available for treating this and other mental health issues does not make it easier to seek help. And since ketamine can only be administered in a doctors office, those seeking this treatment need to find a clinic near them. Since there are many ketamine clinics, it is important to know what to look for when deciding on which one to go to. A good clinic will screen you before any treatments to gauge the state of your mental health. If the clinic qualifies you for the treatment, they should also encourage or require that you also receive traditional treatments in addition to the infusion. It is important to remember that part of overcoming certain mental health issues requires accepting responsibility of your treatment. This means not depending strictly on the infusions alone to find relief. If possible, it is best to combine them with other medications like antidepressants, and with regular psychotherapy. After each treatment, the clinic should also follow up to ensure that the infusions you are receiving are treating your original symptoms effectively.
Every clinic varies, but ketamine infusions typically cost between $500 to $1,000 per treatment, with each one taking, on average, between 40 minutes and one hour to complete. Most patients receive 4-6 infusions initially, and then maintenance infusions on an as needed basis to maintain positive results.
