Finding Relief When Nothing Else Works
For individuals living with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), the journey to healing can be long and frustrating. Traditional antidepressants don’t work for everyone, and many patients cycle through multiple medications without relief. Fortunately, ketamine therapy is emerging as a powerful new tool in mental health care—especially for those who haven’t responded to conventional treatments.
At bVital in Park City, Utah, we provide personalized ketamine therapy programs designed to give new hope to individuals battling depression that has not improved with other treatments.
What Is Treatment-Resistant Depression?
Treatment-resistant depression is diagnosed when a person does not respond adequately to at least two different antidepressant medications taken at proper doses for an appropriate duration. People with TRD often experience:
- Persistent sadness or hopelessness
- Lack of motivation and energy
- Trouble sleeping or excessive sleeping
- Difficulty concentrating
- Suicidal thoughts or ideation
For many, these symptoms persist despite therapy and medication, which can be deeply discouraging.
How Ketamine Works Differently from Traditional Antidepressants
Unlike standard antidepressants that primarily target serotonin, ketamine acts on the brain’s glutamate system, a different neurotransmitter pathway. This mechanism promotes neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new neural connections—and rapidly improves mood and cognition.
Key Benefits of Ketamine for TRD:
- Fast-acting: Many patients report relief within hours or days.
- Neuroregeneration: Encourages growth of new synaptic connections in the brain.
- Reduces suicidal ideation: Even in cases where other therapies have failed.
- Works when others don’t: A lifeline for people who have exhausted traditional options.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ketamine Therapy?

Note: Ketamine therapy is not a first-line treatment. It’s intended for those who have not responded to standard care and should be part of a comprehensive mental health plan.
