Ketamine therapy

Ketamine therapy is a treatment that uses the anesthetic ketamine to address mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. It works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, leading to rapid antidepressant effects, especially in treatment-resistant cases. This therapy is typically administered intravenously or intranasally and is known for its quick onset of action, but it carries risks such as dissociation, hallucinations, and potential for addiction, necessitating administration in a controlled clinical environment.
