Treatment-Resistant Depression
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Treatment-resistant depression is considered when symptoms persist despite prior medication and therapy attempts. At KetamineHubs, this pathway begins with detailed clinical screening, medication reconciliation, and safety assessment to determine whether supervised ketamine therapy may be appropriate.
If approved, care follows a structured protocol with preparation before sessions, direct clinical supervision during sessions, and integration follow-up after sessions. The focus is consistent, safety-first care rather than one-off treatment.
What to expect from this pathway:
-
History-informed review
Clinicians evaluate prior treatment attempts, current medications, and safety considerations before approval.
-
Structured program approach
Care is designed around preparation, treatment sessions, and post-session integration support.
-
clinical team supervision safety requirement
All sessions are supervised at our Clinton, MD center with onsite clinical oversight.
-
Follow-up with oversight
Ongoing check-ins help evaluate response and guide next-step treatment decisions.
Questions about treatment-resistant depression
If you have a question not covered here, our care team is happy to help.
Is treatment-resistant depression treatable with ketamine therapy?
Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis through clinical screening. Not every presentation of treatment-resistant depression qualifies. A licensed clinician reviews your medical history, current medications, and support environment before any decision is made.
What does the intake process involve?
The intake process starts with a consultation to review your health history and current situation. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, and the clinician will explain whether ketamine therapy is appropriate and what the treatment protocol would look like.
How is in-person supervision handled?
In-person sessions are supervised by licensed clinical staff at our Clinton, MD center. This supervision is a non-negotiable safety requirement.
How do I get started?
Start by checking your eligibility. The process is straightforward — complete the eligibility screening, and if appropriate, you will be connected with a licensed clinician to begin the intake process.
