Do the holidays give you the blues? If so, you’re not alone. For some, the holiday season worsens or even triggers symptoms and sensations of depression. This may include reduced energy, too much or too little sleep, low mood, feelings of sadness or shame, or even thoughts of suicide. You can contact the 988 hotline for immediate suicide prevention support.
People suffering from depression need support to cope with these difficult experiences. If you feel the holiday blues or seasonal depression creeping up on you, act now to push back your depression symptoms and heal your brain. Dr. Bryant S. Edwards and his team provide intravenous (IV) ketamine therapy for patients with depression at Iconic Infusions, PLLC, located in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Here’s what you need to know about how seeking ketamine treatment for your depression now sets you up for a smoother, happier, less stressful holiday season.
You don’t have to hide from holiday joys and traditions due to your depression. If you’ve been living with this mental health condition for a while, take steps now to find happiness, renewed energy, and a more positive outlook in the New Year.
Seeking treatment for holiday depression may also make sense for you if you have mental health triggers or stressors related to the season. Old memories, reconnecting with people you don’t see often, or distance from loved ones during the holidays can make you more prone to falling into depression. When you know that the holidays often make you depressed, putting together a treatment plan now saves you the struggle of recovering from a mental and emotional low.
Studies show that ketamine can help with even treatment-resistant depression that hasn’t responded sufficiently to other strategies, such as talk therapy or antidepressants. So, when you notice your depression symptoms worsening, reach out to Dr. Bryant and the Iconic Infusions, PLLC team for holistic, compassionate support.
Depression affects the function of your brain. We’re still learning more about the complicated neural issues associated with depression. When you have ongoing depression symptoms, some parts of your brain become overactive, while others scarcely show any activity at all.
With ketamine infusion therapy, you can deactivate neural pathways associated with depression and reactivate the parts of your brain that regulate your mood and energy. During your infusion session, you experience a dissociative effect. The Iconic Infusions, PLLC medspa-style treatment area includes multiple types of sensory stimulation to improve your treatment experience.
Ketamine therapy often leaves you feeling much better after your first session, giving you immediate, rapid results. Most patients benefit from multiple infusion treatments for the best results. Ketamine therapy may lift your current depression symptoms for an interval, and can even produce complete remission of depression.
For rapid depression relief in the face of oncoming holiday blues, contact Dr. Bryant and the Iconic Infusions, PLLC team today and schedule your initial consultation appointment. Dr. Bryant discusses your symptoms and medical history and determines if you could be a good candidate for ketamine infusion therapy. Book your appointment online or over the phone now.
