Start Your Journey to Wellness with Low Dose Ketamine Therapy, Witness the Neuroscientific Transformation Through New Neural Creation and the Removal of Adverse Pathways.
Science of Ketamine
Ketamine is a long-established anesthetic, in use for over half a century, and has grown to include applications beyond its original medical uses. The medical community is well-versed in its side effects and dosages but continues to explore its evolving benefits in mental health care.
In the last twenty years, ketamine has become a significant alternative treatment for various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidality, alcoholism and other disorders. It is particularly effective in severe cases where other treatments have failed.
Ketamine promotes growth in the prefrontal cortex and other brain areas crucial for emotion regulation. It is believed to help form new neural connections and repair damaged ones, thereby paving new pathways that enhance mood, cognitive abilities, and sleep quality.
Ketamine helps modulate glutamate, the most prevalent neurotransmitter in the brain, which is essential for creating and maintaining synapses. It also affects the balance with GABA, another neurotransmitter, crucial for a healthy nervous system. This balance is vital for mental well-being, influencing conditions like anxiety and sleep disorders.
As an NMDA-receptor antagonist, ketamine aids in rebalancing the glutamate system. This leads to an increase in BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which is essential for sustaining healthy brain activity. This process is vital for ketamine's antidepressant properties and influences the development of new psychiatric medications.
Prestigious institutions including Yale, Stanford, Harvard, UCLA, USC, NYU, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Cleveland Clinic have been researching ketamine’s effects on mental health for two decades. Their studies indicate that about 70% of patients who have not benefited from traditional treatments show significant improvement with ketamine therapy.
The ongoing research into ketamine’s multifaceted effects on mental health is opening new possibilities for innovative psychiatric treatments, deepening the understanding of its mechanisms within the scientific community.

New Age Psychiatry Specialties
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a chronic condition which presents as combination of symptoms including inability to focus, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Adults are often first diagnosed with ADD in childhood however symptom presentation may change later for Attention Deficit Disorder in adults. Untreated attention deficit disorder in adults can lead to increased risk of substance abuse or impulse-based disorders such as gambling addiction for example; it might also cause an increase in anxiety symptoms or depression over the course of time without treatment. New Age Psychiatry understands the challenges Attention Deficit Disorder in adults can have in everyday life.
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep, even if you feel tired. Insomnia is a common psychiatric condition that can affect people of all ages. New Age Psychiatry in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has specialized training to provide comprehensive and compassionate telehealth services for people struggling with insomnia. We will help you to understand and diagnose your specific type of insomnia, pinpoint causes, and provide treatment methods for you.
Depression is a mental illness that can cause feelings of sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, and can cause increased anxiety symptoms, among other psychiatric symptoms. Depression can be sporadic or cyclic; it may or may not tied to any particular event. Depression may also be triggered by troubling events in your life such as psychological trauma. Depending on the severity of these depressive episodes or how long they last for- which varies from person to person- depression may become debilitating. Our team provides psychiatry services including virtual diagnosis and treatment recovery methods if you feel overwhelmed with depression-related issues.
Anxiety is a normal human feeling. It can be scary when it’s unexpected, and usually happens to people who are facing new situations or challenges that they’re not sure how to handle; this includes things like speaking in public, meeting someone for the first time at work, starting college classes despite being anxious about grades–the list goes on! The important thing though is knowing what anxiety feels like: nervousness/excitement coupled with fear/uneasiness. If you feel these feelings constantly (even if there isn’t anything going on), then we recommend getting professional help from our psychiatrist by telehealth so he can provide treatment options such as medication prescriptions based off your diagnosis of symptoms of anxiety.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that causes uncontrollable, persistent thoughts and/or behaviors that can severely interfere with your everyday life. Our team at New Age Psychiatry have specialized in treating OCD effectively by providing you treatment methods or medications to limit the severity of your symptoms.
PTSD is a mental health condition that develops after someone experiences or witnesses a traumatic or life-threatening event. PTSD can be severe enough to affect thoughts and feelings in such way that the symptoms interfere with daily responsibilities. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may manifest at delayed times after the significant event, causing a marked change in behavior. New Age Psychiatry provides compassionate care for people who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder and recommends concurrent trauma-focused therapy as dual treatment in most cases.
The team at New Age Psychiatry is committed to treating the whole person. It’s important for patients with eating disorders to have a proper diagnosis and treatment plan in order to overcome negative body image, unhealthy relationships with food, or other complications that happen like nutritional problems. The team at New Age Psychiatry has specialized training in Binge-eating disorder which may stem from impulse related conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder in adults . Individuals who struggle on their own behalf might find themselves preoccupied about weight loss/gain, disordered thoughts associated with food consumption, and feelings of guilt after overeating – all symptoms of binge-eating disorder. We are here to help and will always adhere to a non-judgmental and completely confidential treatment plan approach.
Panic disorder is as a result of abrupt surges in intense fear or discomfort that lasts for minutes. Sufferers often live with the constant worry about if they will experience another panic attack and may alter their lives to avoid situations which might trigger such an event.

Between work, family, and just the general day-to-day grind, it can be hard to keep your head above water. I was starting to feel like I was drowning in stress when I decided to give New Age Psychiatry a try. And I'm glad I did! I've learned a lot of coping skills that have helped me to deal with stress in a more constructive way. I don't let the little things get to me as much anymore, and I'm better able to manage my time and prioritize my tasks. As a result, I'm much less stressed overall. If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, you might just find it helpful too!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.melinda ortega2022-08-09I had always been the type of person to internalize my problems, and the idea of talking to a stranger about my issues felt unbearable. However, when my anxiety started to affect my work and personal life, I knew that I needed to seek help. And so, reluctantly, I made an appointment with a new age psychiatry. From our very first session, she made me feel comfortable and understood. She helped me to see my anxiety in a new light, and with time provided me with tools to manage my symptoms. I am now able to enjoy social situations without feeling overwhelmed, and I am incredibly grateful to my psych NP for helping me enjoy my life again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ben Kitchens2022-08-07If you're looking for a great experience with Psychiatry, look no further than New Age Psychiatry. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they really know their stuff when it comes to mental health. I've been seeing them for a few months now, and it’s really helped me immensely with my anxiety and depression. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of psychiatric care.
