(Newswire.net — August 13, 2019) — Ascend Ketamine in Houston has launched a new report focusing on the benefits of ketamine when treating PTSD. It highlights that using ketamine to treat mental health disorders isn’t new, but now it is moving from an off-label option to something more accepted and sanctioned.

The site explains that Ascend Ketamine is known for providing the most affordable ketamine infusion therapy in the Houston area. By keeping costs low, the team aims to make the treatment more accessible to all.
Traditionally the treatments have been used most frequently for depression. However, it is also proven to be an effective treatment option for those suffering from PTSD.
The clinic report shows that over the last two years, Veterans Affairs Medical Center in San Francisco has been using ketamine as a treatment for veterans with PTSD. The study results have been effective.
Another study in New York shows that ketamine is immediately effective for reducing the severity of PTSD symptoms.
Ascend Ketamine says that ketamine infusion therapy can provide powerful and rapid results, while also providing anti-suicidal properties. While the majority of medications can take a long time to show results, ketamine has a near-immediate impact.
The report states, “PTSD can be caused and exacerbated by stress. Your body releases the stress hormone cortisol when it is faced with danger or what your brain perceives to be a danger.”
It adds, “When your brain is constantly being bathed in stress, depression is the outcome. PTSD patients, however, don’t have sufficient amount of cortisol to cope with extremely stressful situations. That’s where ketamine comes into play.”
One of the biggest benefits of the treatment is that patients see a reduction of symptoms from a single treatment. This can last for days or weeks, and benefits come long after the medication has left the body.
