Facts on Ketamine Treatment for Anorexia

Oral ketamine is a promising treatment option for individuals struggling with psychiatric ailments and substance abuse and may provide clients with the additional help they may need to maintain their sobriety and start living the full and productive life they deserve.

Post Ketamine Treatment:

  • Ketamine functions as an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, which blocks the activity of NMDA receptors in the brain. This mechanism of action is thought to play a role in its potential therapeutic effects for anorexia.
  • Ketamine may help alleviate symptoms associated with anorexia by modulating neural circuits involved in reward processing, emotion regulation, and body image perception.
  • Case reports described improvements in eating disorder symptoms following ketamine infusions, and a small study found reduced depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as improvements in body image concerns with ketamine treatment.
