"Anxiety isn't always purely psychological — hormones and thyroid function can make it significantly worse. I want to rule those out before assuming it's the whole story."
Dr. Justin Abbott, D.O.Founder & Medical Director
When standard approaches haven't worked, it's worth looking deeper — both medically and physiologically.
Anxiety has many contributing factors — some psychological, some physiological. Hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, and chronic stress can all worsen or even mimic anxiety symptoms.
For anxiety that hasn't improved with standard approaches, treatment-resistant options like ketamine therapy offer a different mechanism of action worth considering.
We start by ruling out physiological contributors — hormones, thyroid — before considering treatment options. For anxiety that hasn't responded to standard care, ketamine therapy is available under physician supervision.
