If you suffer from Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), there is an exciting new treatment option available. Ketamine therapy can reduce symptoms of these disorders and can provide relief for those who have not responded well to traditional medications. Ketamine therapy is an alternative treatment that offers new hope for people suffering from anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.
MD Infusions was founded by three physicians, Dr. Evan Laskaris, Dr. Richard Aronwald, and Dr. Tim Heilenbach. They each have over 15 years of experience in Chicago’s North Shore region as emergency physicians who specialize in ketamine therapy for anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. The MD Infusions team has expertise in anxiety, PTSD and OCD treatment and is located at 666 Dundee Rd. Ste. 1903, Northbrook IL 60062.
“Our goal at MD Infusions is to help people suffering from depression and anxiety to regain their strength and purpose,” stated Dr. Evan Laskaris, co-founder of MD Infusions. Dr. Evan Laskaris is board certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
When it comes to anxiety, ketamine can help to stop the fear-response in your brain. For a person with PTSD, ketamine can provide relief from distressing thoughts and memories that occur without warning. And for those who suffer from OCD, this novel therapy may offer hope of eliminating their unwanted or obsessive behaviors.
Ketamine can also help with OCD-related depression. OCD is characterized by both obsessions and compulsions that cause significant distress. “OCD affects 2.2 million adults or 1.0% of the U.S. population. OCD is equally common among men and women. The average age of onset is 19, with 25 percent of cases occurring by age 14. One-third of affected adults first experienced symptoms in childhood.” Facts & Statistics.

Ketamine dramatically alleviated depression in adults after receiving only one low-dose IV infusion. Berman, R. M., Cappiello, A., Anand, A., Oren, D. A., Heninger, G. R., Charney, D. S., & Krystal, J. H. (2000). Antidepressant effects of ketamine in depressed patients. Biological psychiatry, 47(4), 351–354. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0006-3223(99)00230-9.
Later studies confirmed these findings in more extensive randomized controlled trials involving patients with treatment-resistant depression. Murrough, J. W., Iosifescu, D. V., Chang, L. C., Al Jurdi, R. K., Green, C. E., Perez, A. M., Iqbal, S., Pillemer, S., Foulkes, A., Shah, A., Charney, D. S., & Mathew, S. J. (2013).

Ketamine therapy is FDA-approved and shown to be safe when administered by properly trained physicians. Scientific research has demonstrated that Ketamine infusion therapy can rapidly and dramatically alleviate symptoms of depression. Ketamine works on NDMA receptors in your brain, affecting the neurotransmitter glutamate, a different mechanism than all other medications used to treat depression, anxiety, or PTSD.
