Conditions Evaluated

Depressive Conditions Vita Nova Evaluates

These depressive presentations are evaluated at Vita Nova for IV ketamine infusion therapy on an individual basis. A comprehensive clinical evaluation is required before any treatment is offered. Each links to a dedicated page with fuller detail.

🧠
Treatment-Resistant Depression
ICD-10 F33.2 · 2+ antidepressant trials failed

TRD is major depressive disorder that hasn't responded to at least two adequate antidepressant trials in the current episode — about one-third of MDD patients. It has the strongest evidence base for IV ketamine, which works through a different mechanism than prior antidepressant classes.

More on ketamine for TRD →
⚡
MDD with Suicidal Ideation
ICD-10 F32.9 · Off-Label · Urgent evaluation prioritized

When major depression is accompanied by suicidal ideation, speed matters — ketamine has reduced suicidal ideation within hours in controlled trials. Vita Nova can often schedule urgent evaluation within one to two business days. Ketamine is one part of a broader care plan, not a replacement for crisis services.

🌊
Bipolar Depression
ICD-10 F31.5 · Off-Label · Individual evaluation required

The depressive phase of bipolar disorder is often the most disabling and hardest to treat, and standard antidepressants carry mania risk. Ketamine is evaluated off-label case-by-case at Vita Nova, with careful review of mood-stabilizer status and manic history.

🌸
Postpartum Depression
ICD-10 F53.0 · Off-Label · Breastfeeding status reviewed

Postpartum depression affects roughly 10–15% of women after childbirth. For moderate-to-severe PPD that hasn't responded to standard treatment, ketamine may be evaluated off-label at Vita Nova, with breastfeeding status reviewed individually alongside your OB/GYN and pediatrician.

Why Vita Nova — Canton's Clinical Standard

What Sets Vita Nova Apart for Depression Treatment

Not all ketamine clinics are the same. The anesthesiologist-led care model, clinical protocols, and patient experience at Vita Nova reflect a standard of care patients across Baltimore consistently cite in reviews.

🏥
Johns Hopkins Faculty Medical Director

Dr. Brijen L. Joshi MD is an active Johns Hopkins faculty physician, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, and Chief of Thoracic Anesthesia at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Every infusion is anesthesiologist-led care, under the medical direction of Dr. Brijen Joshi MD, and his clinical oversight at Vita Nova reflects the standard applied at a leading academic medical center.

💓
Continuous Cardiac & Vital-Signs Monitoring

Every ketamine infusion includes continuous cardiac and vital-signs monitoring throughout the session — a reflection of Dr. Joshi's anesthesiology background. This level of monitoring is not standard at all ketamine clinics and is a differentiator patients consistently cite in reviews.

🛡️
LegitScript Certified

LegitScript certification is the gold standard for ketamine-clinic verification — confirming physician credentials, compliance practices, and legal operating standards. Vita Nova is one of Baltimore's few LegitScript-certified ketamine clinics, and is Google-approved to advertise ketamine therapy in Baltimore.

🤝
Therapist & Mental Health Provider Coordination

Vita Nova encourages every ketamine patient to maintain their existing mental health and therapeutic care during and after treatment. The clinical team follows up after the series and coordinates with referring providers. Ketamine works best as part of a comprehensive care plan — not a replacement for ongoing mental health support.

★★★★★

"At a very low point in my life, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to ketamine therapy. Yvonne worked with me to ensure I could afford what I consider life-changing treatment. The treatment itself is, in a word, life-changing."

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is major depressive disorder that hasn't responded adequately to at least two antidepressant trials of adequate dose and duration in the current episode. About one-third of people with MDD don't achieve adequate relief from standard antidepressants, and the National Institute of Mental Health has highlighted ketamine's rapid effect in this group. If you've tried two or more antidepressants without adequate improvement — or a mental health provider has told you your depression is treatment-resistant — you may qualify for off-label IV ketamine infusion therapy at Vita Nova in Canton, Baltimore. A telemedicine consultation is the first step and is available to Maryland residents. Call (443) 563-1059 or book online.
IV ketamine for depression is off-label, so it is self-pay — Vita Nova does not bill insurance for it. We provide an itemized superbill you can file with your insurance yourself for possible out-of-network reimbursement, which is not guaranteed. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and Community Heroes discounts are available for veterans, first responders, nurses, teachers, and seniors. Ketamine infusions are $499.99 per session for non-members and $375 for Vitality Circle members, and the six-infusion Complete Series ($2,849.94; $2,250 for members) is priced below the per-session rate and includes three complimentary hydration IVs. A telemedicine consultation is the first step for Maryland patients. Call (443) 563-1059 or book online.
IV ketamine can produce antidepressant effects within hours to days — a response speed unmatched by standard antidepressants, which typically require four to eight weeks of daily dosing. Some patients report meaningful mood improvement within 24 hours of their first infusion at Vita Nova in Canton, Baltimore. A standard induction series of four to six infusions over two to three weeks builds on that initial response and extends how long it lasts. Individual responses vary significantly — not everyone responds, and a comprehensive clinical evaluation is required before treatment.
Most patients start with an induction series of four to six IV ketamine infusions over two to three weeks — at Vita Nova, the six-infusion Complete Series is the standard package. The series builds on the rapid initial response and extends how long the benefit lasts — a single infusion can lift mood quickly, but the series is what makes it more durable. After induction, some patients need periodic maintenance infusions spaced weeks or months apart, guided by how they respond; others need fewer. The exact number is individualized at Vita Nova in Canton, Baltimore based on your response and clinical picture. Individual results vary.
Sometimes, indirectly. Iron is a cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis, so iron-deficiency anemia can deepen the fatigue, low motivation, and anhedonia that overlap with depression. An Iron IV does not treat depression and is not part of the ketamine protocol — but if bloodwork confirms iron-deficiency anemia, correcting it can lift a physical fatigue layer sitting on top of low mood. Ask your physician about checking ferritin and a CBC; when deficiency is confirmed, an Iron IV infusion restores stores faster than oral iron, which is often poorly tolerated. Vita Nova offers Iron IV therapy at the Canton clinic.
No — ketamine is not a cure for depression, and it's important to be honest about that. What it can do is work rapidly: many patients feel meaningful relief within hours to days, often when antidepressants and therapy haven't helped. Those effects are maintained with an induction series and periodic maintenance rather than a single visit, because the benefit fades over time for most people. Ketamine works best as part of a broader care plan alongside your mental health provider and therapist, not as a replacement for them. It is off-label for depression, individual results vary, and a clinical evaluation is required.
