Ketamine Therapy in Chicago
Ketamine therapy represents a breakthrough in mental health treatment for patients who have not responded to traditional antidepressants. At CornerMed, we offer ketamine-assisted treatment protocols under the supervision of board-certified providers for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain with a mental health component. Ketamine works through a different mechanism than conventional antidepressants -- producing rapid, often dramatic improvements in mood and outlook, sometimes within hours of the first treatment.
