Anxiety Treatment Options at ReGen Advanced Infusion and Wellness Center
Ketamine Infusion Therapy
- In addition to Anxiety, ketamine infusion therapy shows efficacy for depression, PTSD, chronic pain conditions, and addiction support.
How it works:
- Ketamine affects NMDA receptors and glutamate signaling, which can rapidly improve mood and reduce anxiety.
- Often produces effects within hours to days (vs. weeks for traditional meds).
Adjunct Therapies
- Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
- Infusion-based wellness therapies (e.g., NAD+, nutrients) to support brain and cellular function
- Regenerative or longevity therapies: depression is multifactorial, and we have found that investigating and supporting nutritional deficiencies, chronic pain, and self-image greatly improves depressive symptoms.
When to Seek Evaluation for Anxiety
Seek medical evaluation if anxiety includes:
– Panic attacks with chest pain or shortness of breath
– New onset after age 40
– Severe insomnia or weight loss
– Fainting, palpitations, or irregular heartbeat
– Neurologic symptoms (confusion, tremor)
Speak with your primary care provider or your primary mental health provider if you have these symptoms.
Understanding the Physiologic Drivers of Anxiety
Neurotransmitter Imbalance
Key systems dysregulation in Anxiety:
- GABA → calming neurotransmitter (often low in anxiety)
- Glutamate → excitatory neurotransmitter (often high)
- Serotonin & dopamine → mood regulation neurotransmitters
Autonomic Nervous System Dysregulation
- Sympathetic (“fight or flight”) overactivation (adrenaline dysregulation)
- Reduced parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) tone (acetylcholine dysregulation)
Inflammation & Oxidative Stress
- Increased stress responses lead to a chronic stress state (cortisol dysregulation)
- Chronic anxiety
- Sleep disruption
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Chronic inflammation
- Chronic inflammation can affect brain signaling and cause structural damage to the brain and body
Brain Circuitry Changes
- Overactive amygdala leads to increased fear and sympathetic (adrenaline) response
- Underactive prefrontal cortex leads to difficulty with planning and concentration
