If conventional treatments have proven ineffective, Lumin Health's ketamine therapy for depression relief could be right for you. Supported by scientific literature and, in some formulations even FDA approval, ketamine treatment has shown success in treating various forms of depression, particularly treatment-resistant depression, major depressive disorder, and even suicidal ideation (SI). Our expert team is dedicated to providing compassionate ketamine therapy, guiding you towards a brighter future with less or even no depressive symptoms.
Ketamine therapy efficacy
Scientific research has illuminated the efficacy of ketamine in addressing depression, particularly in cases where traditional treatments fall short. Studies have shown that ketamine can provide rapid relief, often within hours, compared to the weeks required for standard antidepressants.
Treatment-resistant depression and ketamine
Ketamine's remarkable success extends to treatment-resistant depression and even suicidal ideation. For individuals who have not responded to multiple treatments, ketamine offers a glimmer of hope, providing a chance to regain control over their lives.
Ketamine treatment's scientific backing and mechanism of action
Neuroplasticity and Synaptic Connections
Ketamine's mechanism of action involves N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor modulation, which triggers a cascade of neuroplasticity processes. This fosters the creation of new synaptic connections, potentially rewiring negative thought patterns that contribute to depression.

Glutamate Regulation and Mood Enhancement
Ketamine's influence on glutamate, a neurotransmitter, contributes to mood regulation. By restoring balance to glutamate levels, ketamine can alleviate depressive symptoms and promote a more positive outlook.
