Wellness Psychiatry

Wellness Psychiatry in Lakewood, Colorado offers IM ketamine for adults with treatment-resistant depression. The clinic administers ketamine by intramuscular injection for patients who have not responded well to conventional treatments like antidepressants and talk therapy.

Ketamine works by blocking the NMDA receptor and raising glutamate levels, which boosts neuroplasticity and is thought to drive its rapid antidepressant effects. Many patients feel significantly better after one or two sessions, with effects typically lasting two to six weeks and maintained through booster sessions.

The practice treats each patient individually, reviewing their history and symptoms before recommending treatment. Wellness Psychiatry also provides medication management, ADD/ADHD treatment, genetic and nutrigenomic testing, and telepsychiatry appointments.
