Innovative Ketamine Treatment for Depression, Anxiety & PTSD
Fast-acting relief and renewed hope for those who haven’t found success with traditional medications.
A Breakthrough Approach to Treatment-Resistant Depression
At Mental Health Associates San Antonio, we offer medically supervised ketamine therapy for patients who struggle with depression, anxiety, or PTSD that hasn’t improved with standard medications.
Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants — targeting brain receptors linked to mood and thought patterns — and can bring noticeable improvement within hours to days. Our compassionate providers guide every step to ensure safety, comfort, and meaningful results.

Your journey begins with a full psychiatric evaluation to determine whether ketamine treatment is right for you. From there, we develop a tailored plan designed around your symptoms, goals, and medical history.

FAQ: Ketamine Treatment
How does ketamine help with depression and PTSD?
Ketamine stimulates glutamate activity in the brain, helping repair neural pathways involved in mood and emotion — often providing rapid symptom relief.
How quickly will I feel better?
Many patients notice improvement within 24–48 hours after their first or second session, though individual results vary.
Is ketamine treatment safe?
Yes. When administered under medical supervision, ketamine is considered safe and well-tolerated. Side effects such as mild dizziness or nausea are temporary and monitored closely.
How long does each session take?
IV infusions typically last 40–60 minutes, while IM and Spravato® sessions are shorter.
How many treatments will I need?
A typical initial series includes 6–8 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions as recommended by your provider.
Can I continue my current medications?
In most cases, yes. Your provider will review your medications to ensure safe and effective coordination.
Is medication the only treatment you recommend?
Not at all. We often combine medication with therapy, TMS, or ketamine treatment for a more holistic approach to mental wellness.
