Obsessive compulsive disorder is exhausting in a way that is hard to explain to anyone who has not lived it. The intrusive thoughts, the rituals that bring only a moment of relief before the loop starts again. When medication and therapy have not been enough, ketamine therapy for OCD offers a different approach that can loosen the grip of those loops.

OCD is not about being tidy. It is a cycle of intrusive thoughts that spike anxiety, and compulsions performed to quiet that anxiety, again and again.

When OCD persists despite medication and therapy, ketamine can be a medically appropriate next step.
The standard medications for OCD work slowly on serotonin and do not help everyone. Ketamine acts on the glutamate system, which research suggests plays a key role in the brain circuits behind OCD. By helping the brain form new connections, ketamine can ease the intensity of obsessions and the pull of compulsions, often making therapy more effective.
Relief can come quickly. Every infusion is monitored by an anesthesia provider in a private suite, with no anesthesia required.
