When antidepressants haven’t worked — or stopped working — ketamine offers a fundamentally different mechanism, with relief that can arrive within 24 hours.
How It Helps
Roughly one in three people with depression doesn’t respond to conventional antidepressants. Ketamine works differently: instead of slowly adjusting serotonin levels, it triggers a glutamate surge that releases BDNF and rapidly regrows the synaptic connections depression erodes. How MSKIT® works →
In a randomized controlled trial published by the National Library of Medicine, patients receiving a single ketamine infusion improved significantly more than the active-placebo group within 24 hours — a 7.95-point greater drop on the MADRS depression scale (see the study). In our own 2022–2024 research across 252 patients, MSKIT® showed an 82% response rate — more on our research page.

Your Questions, Answered
Many patients notice improvement within 24 hours of their first infusion, with effects building across the six-infusion Stabilization Phase. Published randomized controlled research documents measurable improvement in depression severity within 24 hours of a single infusion.
That is exactly who ketamine helps most. It bypasses the serotonin system entirely, acting on glutamate and BDNF to rebuild neural connections — which is why it works for treatment-resistant depression.
TMS is FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression and drug-free, with 90%+ response using our SNT and ONE-D protocols; ketamine acts faster and also treats pain and PTSD. Many patients benefit from both — your free consultation determines the right path.
Usually no — most antidepressants can continue during ketamine treatment. Bring your medication list to consultation; our CRNAs review everything and coordinate with your prescriber.
