Bipolar Depression

If you have yet to be diagnosed and think you might be suffering from bipolar disorder, you should first contact a psychiatrist or other mental health professional, if possible. Left untreated, the symptoms of bipolar disorder can worsen, potentially leading to suicidal thoughts or behavior. Initial treatments usually involve psychotherapy along proper medications (most often mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, or some combination). If you’ve already tried and these treatment plans haven’t worked, ketamine infusions may be able to help relieve your suffering. The lows of bipolar depression can be so debilitating that everyday tasks – even simple tasks or getting out of bed – can be difficult. By treating the underlying depression, low-dose intravenous ketamine infusions can often “lighten the load” of bipolar disorder, allowing patients to resume living a happier, more productive life.
