What is Ketamine?
Understanding the Power of Ketamine Treatment
Ketamine is a versatile medication originally developed as an anesthetic. It is now recognized for its potential in treating severe depression and other mental health conditions. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which often take weeks to show effects, ketamine can provide rapid relief from symptoms of depression, sometimes with the first treatment. Ketamine works primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist, influencing the brain's glutamate system, which plays a role in mood regulation and neural plasticity. Additionally, ketamine is being explored for its efficacy in managing chronic pain and PTSD, highlighting its broad therapeutic potential.
