Ketamine is a medication that has been used for decades as an anesthetic. Recently, it has been shown to be effective in treating treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine works by increasing levels of a neurotransmitter called glutamate, which is involved in brain cell communication. This increases brain activity and may help to lift the mood in people with depression.
Iv ketamine treatment is a promising new treatment for depression that may help people who have not responded to other treatments. If you are considering iv ketamine treatment for yourself or a loved one, it is important to understand how it works and what to expect.
