Ketamine

Ketamine is a medication originally developed as an anesthetic for surgery. In recent years, it has gained attention for its rapid antidepressant effects, particularly in treatment-resistant depression. It works on the brain by affecting neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate, leading to changes in mood and perception. Ketamine can be administered through an injection or nasal spray and is usually provided in a clinical setting. While it can provide relief for some individuals, it also has potential side effects and risks, especially with misuse, so it is important to use it under medical supervision.
