Ketamine IV infusion therapy at Vita Nova is anesthesiologist-led care, under the medical direction of Dr. Brijen Joshi MD — Johns Hopkins Faculty and Board-Certified Anesthesiologist — with continuous monitoring on every infusion. For Canton and East Baltimore residents seeking treatment for conditions that have not responded adequately to standard care, ketamine therapy is now accessible without leaving the neighborhood.
Ketamine works on the NMDA glutamate receptor system — a fundamentally different mechanism from SSRIs and SNRIs. This pathway produces measurable clinical responses in treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, chronic pain, and related conditions by promoting new synaptic connections in prefrontal and limbic circuits and interrupting central sensitization in the dorsal horn. Effects emerge within hours to days, not weeks.
Searching for depression treatment in Canton specifically? That has its own page — Depression Treatment Canton Baltimore → — covering TRD, MDD, bipolar depression, and postpartum depression in depth. A standard induction series at Vita Nova consists of six infusions over two to three weeks. A clinical evaluation by Vita Nova's clinical team, under the medical direction of Dr. Brijen Joshi MD, precedes every induction — candidacy is determined individually, including when ketamine is not the appropriate choice.
Strongest evidence base. ~50–70% response rate in published RCTs for patients who have failed 2+ antidepressant trials. Some plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits; we provide an itemized superbill, and reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Fear memory reconsolidation disruption through NMDA receptor blockade. Relevant for veterans, first responders, and all trauma survivors. Community Heroes discounts available.
Evaluated for GAD, panic disorder, and social anxiety when standard medications have plateaued. NMDA mechanism reduces amygdala hyperreactivity and restores prefrontal regulatory capacity.
Evaluated when ERP and SSRIs at maximal doses have not provided adequate relief. Ketamine disrupts cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit hyperactivity. ERP remains first-line.
Evaluated for the depressive phase of bipolar I and II. Mood stabilizer review and manic switch risk assessment core to evaluation. Bipolar I and II addressed individually.
Evaluated when first-line treatments have not provided adequate relief. Ketamine's rapid onset is clinically relevant when a mother needs relief urgently. Breastfeeding reviewed individually.
IV ketamine has shown rapid reductions in suicidal ideation within hours — a meaningful speed advantage over SSRIs in acute presentations. Evaluated individually. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
Evaluated for anhedonia and SSRI-induced emotional blunting. Ketamine's NMDA and opioid receptor mechanism addresses hedonic restoration through pathways SSRIs do not engage.
Evaluated as adjunct support within a comprehensive recovery program — primarily for co-occurring PTSD or TRD driving relapse. Not a standalone treatment. Alcohol use disorder has the strongest evidence.
Central sensitization syndrome driven by NMDA receptor hyperactivation — the receptor ketamine blocks directly. Strong evidence base for ketamine in fibromyalgia unresponsive to standard care.
Diabetic, chemotherapy-induced, post-herpetic, and idiopathic neuropathy. Ketamine interrupts spinal dorsal horn sensitization amplifying neuropathic pain signals beyond the peripheral nerve.
CRPS · Migraines · Sciatica · Back Pain · Arthritis · Pelvic Pain · Inflammatory Pain · Post-Surgical Pain. All driven by central sensitization — the mechanism ketamine addresses directly.
