What is ketamine?
Ketamine is a medicine that was initially used for anesthesia during surgeries. It can also help people with specific mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Ketamine affects how the brain's chemicals work, which can improve mood and other symptoms. Ketamine is given in a controlled setting and generally works faster than other treatments. Ketamine has shown tremendous promise in helping people feel better about their mental health.
Ketamine operates within the brain's neurotransmitter system, obstructing NMDA receptors and boosting glutamate release. This impact extends to mood, memory, and learning. Furthermore, it fosters neuroplasticity, aiding the formation of fresh neural connections.
