Thousand Oaks, United States - January 30, 2024 /NewsNetwork/ —

With its latest expansion, the clinic now utilizes ketamine IV therapy to treat bipolar disorder, a mental health condition affecting 2.8% of U.S. adults, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Ketamine infusions, administered by Chrysalis Ketamine, are used to provide rapid relief from the symptoms of bipolar disorder, including episodes of mania and depression.

According to the clinic, ketamine is used to boost the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood and emotions. “The promptness of ketamine in yielding an antidepressant effect occurs because this drug bypasses the conventional serotonin path and goes straight to switching on glutamate,” it stated.

As explained by the clinic, bipolar 1 is the most common form of bipolar disorder, while also being the most severe. Patients with this type of bipolar diagnosis often suffer from manic episodes (extreme highs) followed by major depressive episodes (extreme lows).

Symptoms of a manic episode can include feelings of elation and irritability, racing thoughts, a decreased need for sleep, and an excessive appetite for pleasurable activities such as eating and drinking. This can be followed by up to two weeks of depressive symptoms, including feelings of hopelessness and despair, fatigue, difficulties with concentration, and suicidal thoughts.

According to a study published in BMC Psychiatry, repeated ketamine infusions produced a 47.2% reduction response in patients with symptoms of major depression.

To reap the best results, Chrysalis Ketamine recommends a protocol of six infusions over two to three weeks, with any necessary maintenance infusions scheduled accordingly.

Chrysalis Ketamine’s infusion treatment offers fast relief from these symptoms with relatively few side effects. Ketamine is administered by Chrysalis Ketamine's resident physician, Dr. Hagop Karpanian, a board-certified cardiac anesthesiologist.

One recent patient said: "Dr. Karpanian is wonderful. He offers a thoughtful, gentle and empathetic approach to the work he does. He values connection and collaboration to help alleviate his patients’ symptoms. He is a very caring doctor."
