S-ketamine

S-ketamine is a form of ketamine, a medication originally used for anesthesia and pain relief, now also recognized for its rapid antidepressant effects. It works by modulating brain signals related to mood and perception. S-ketamine is considered more potent and has fewer side effects than the original form, racemic ketamine, making it a targeted option for treatment-resistant depression. It is administered under medical supervision, typically as a nasal spray or infusion, and can provide quick relief from severe depressive symptoms when other treatments have failed.
