Thousand Oaks, United States - December 13, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The clinic’s recently announced ketamine infusion therapy is intended as an alternative to traditional SSRIs, providing relief from the symptoms of bipolar 2 disorder. Research indicates that ketamine can relieve symptoms of depression and hypomania where other forms of medication have failed.

Chrysalis Ketamine's new ketamine treatment option for bipolar 2 disorder works by rapidly boosting the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter responsible for learning and memory. Ketamine works much faster than typical antidepressant medications as it bypasses the conventional serotonin pathway, focusing solely on the glutamate pathway to regulate the nervous system.

“Ketamine therapy is remarkably different from conventional antidepressants, which ultimately boost serotonin activity levels in several areas of the brain to ultimately affect glutamate," Chrysalis Ketamine says. "This process usually takes weeks, sometimes months, while ketamine produces an almost instant result and relief from anxiety symptoms.”

As explained by Dr. Karpanian, patients with bipolar 2 disorder present with recurring episodes of major depression and hypomania (a milder form of mania). In a recent study by the Institute For Advanced Psychiatry, it was revealed that, of 42 patients with bipolar disorder, 52% responded favorably to a single ketamine infusion. In a similar study, 27 ketamine therapy patients reported relief from their depressive symptoms within a week, with 37% reporting remission.

Chrysalis Ketamine provides private treatment rooms for those undergoing ketamine infusion therapy and monitors patients regularly throughout. The clinic recommends that patients undergo at least two infusions in conjunction with any current ongoing psychiatric therapy.

A spokesperson for the clinic states: “Studies show that a protocol of six infusions over the span of two to three weeks provides the most benefit for patients. This can be followed by maintenance infusions given every few weeks to months as needed with the ultimate goal of not needing any further infusions.”
