Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide, resulting in significant distress and potentially hampering their daily activities. OCD is characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts or obsessions, and repetitive behaviors or compulsions. Some common examples include an excessive concern about cleanliness, orderliness, and the need for symmetry.
While traditional treatment methods for OCD can include medication and psychotherapy, these don’t always provide the desired results for every individual. That’s where we come in. Our expert physicians leverage the transformative power of ketamine infusion therapy to offer an alternative solution. Ketamine works differently than conventional medications, targeting the glutamate system in the brain and aiding the formation of new, healthy neural connections. This helps to alleviate the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors associated with OCD, and many patients experience relief even when other treatments have failed.
