About PTSD

A Disorder That Can Strike Anyone

As the name implies, PTSD is a mental disorder that develops on the heels of a traumatic incident. While PTSD has long been associated with veterans of the conflict, the disorder can strike anyone who’s witnessed, or been through, a life-altering or dangerous event. For example, many survivors of sexual abuse, natural disasters, and car accidents can suffer from PTSD.

Your body and mind typically operate in a fight-or-flight mode and when you’re involved in a traumatic event, this hard wiring is affected. The result can be:

Acute PTSD

Acute PTSD resolves itself on its own as your body readjusts.

Long-term and chronic PTSD

Long-term and chronic PTSD resists treatment. While psychotherapies and medications often help PTSD victims find relief, if your PTSD proves to be resistant to treatment, ketamine may be a viable solution.

What are the symptoms of PTSD?

Symptoms Vary from One Person to the Next

The symptoms of PTSD vary from one person to the next as not everyone processes a traumatic event in the same way. For example, you may notice PTSD symptoms within months after the initial event, or they may crop up years down the road. In either case, these symptoms include:

Flashbacks
Feeling tense, edgy, and stressed
Being easily startled
Isolation and avoidance
Excessive anxiety and fear
Anger management issues
Sleep disturbances
Negative thoughts
Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
Depression
Suicidal tendencies

If you’ve been diagnosed with PTSD, you’ve likely had a combination of recurring symptoms that have lasted for more than a month.

Klarity Life’s ketamine specialist

Dr. Henry Liang in Las Vegas, Klarity Life’s ketamine specialist, has helped many patients overcome the life-altering effects of PTSD, allowing them to lead normal, happy lives.

Glutamate and neural connections

Studies have shown that ketamine works by rapidly increasing levels of the largest neurotransmitter in the brain; Glutamate. Glutamate is the most important neurotransmitter for normal brain function. Additionally, ketamine is thought to grow new (or repair damaged) neural connections, allowing the brain a chance to heal.

Over the two-week therapy

The best part of the ketamine treatment is that results are almost immediate. Many patients experience significant improvement in just 24 hours after their first treatment, and these improvements continue over the course of the two-week therapy.
