If you or a loved one feels overwhelmed by uncontrollable obsessions and reoccurring thoughts, you may feel paralyzed and trapped. However, if you are in the Santa Monica, CA, area, Kure Ketamine is here to help you break those repetitive behaviors through ketamine treatment for OCD.
At Kure Ketamine, we offer ketamine infusions to help you get back to those regular patterns of life you once knew. We do not want you to feel that your unwanted mental affliction is in control of your life any longer.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic disorder that causes you to have compulsions, giving you the urge to repeat particular actions. Four main ways that OCD manifests itself exist, including cleaning, second-guessing yourself, rearranging, and harmful thinking patterns. While experts are unsure of the exact cause of OCD, it tends to stem from anxiety.
While anti anxiety medications work by raising serotonin levels in the brain, ketamine works differently. Our ketamine infusions work by affecting the neurotransmitters. The ketamine drug repairs the connections between neurons to help rewire the communication in the glutamate system.
At Kure Ketamine, we want you to find hope and healing from the despair you have been persevering through. It is our mission to care for your well-being, and we want you to come away from our clinic with the peace of mind that we have your best interest at heart.
