The Hidden Battles After Service

For many veterans and active-duty service members, the toughest battles begin after the mission ends.Lingering trauma, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain can quietly erode quality of life. Despite their bravery on the field, many face stigma, frustration, and limited treatment options when seeking mental health support.

At Z&Z Wellness, we believe healing should be dignified, accessible, and effective. That’s why we offer ketamine therapy, a breakthrough treatment that’s helping military personnel regain control of their lives.

The Invisible Wounds of Service Affecting Veterans:

Combat exposure, high-intensity stress, and operational trauma can leave long-lasting psychological and physical effects. Many service members experience:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Major Depression or Anxiety
Chronic Pain from injuries or overuse
Suicidal thoughts or emotional numbness

The emotional burden often deepens when traditional treatments fail — but ketamine therapy offers a new path forward.

How Ketamine Works Differently

Ketamine, an FDA-approved anesthetic, has shown powerful results at low doses for rapidly reducing symptoms of resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic pain.

Unlike traditional antidepressants that take weeks to work, ketamine acts on glutamate, the brain’s primary excitatory neurotransmitter — helping the brain reset and heal.

Clinical Benefits Include:

Improved mood within hours to days
Reduced hyperarousal and emotional reactivity
Greater resilience and mental clarity
Enhanced neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to rewire and heal)

Studies from Yale, the NIH, and the VA confirm ketamine’s rapid antidepressant and anti-suicidal effects in both civilian and veteran populations.(Source: American Journal of Psychiatry, 2019)

Why Veterans and Service Members Benefit From Ketamine Therapy:

PTSD: Helps reprocess trauma without reliving it
Combat-Related Depression: Lifts emotional heaviness and detachment
Chronic Pain Syndromes: Reduces nerve pain and inflammation
Suicidal Ideation: Can lessen suicidal thoughts, sometimes after a single session
