Ketamine Treatment

Meridian Advanced Psychiatry can use Ketamine as part of a depression treatment program. Ketamine was once used as an anesthetic but is now a medication that is proving to be promising for treatment-resistant depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, Ketamine can rapidly reduce suicidality including life-threatening thoughts or acts. It can be used to help very serious cases of depression that haven’t been improved by more traditional methods.
