What is Ketamine?
Historically utilized as an anesthetic in surgical settings, ketamine has garnered significant attention in recent years for it's potential rapid-acting antidepressant effects, especially in individuals with treatment-resistant depression.
Low-dose infusions of ketamine have been shown to ease the symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and more! Ketamine helps reset and restore nerve connections, making it a positive alternative treatment for pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.
How Does Ketamine Work?
At a molecular level, ketamine primarily acts as an antagonist of the NMDA receptor in the brain. This action leads to a cascade of neurobiological events, including the release of neurotransmitters and the stimulation of synaptogenesis, the formation of new synaptic connections. This enhancement of neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to rewire and adapt, plays a crucial role in its therapeutic effects. Additionally, the altered state of consciousness induced by ketamine can foster a detachment from one's typical patterns of thinking and perceiving, allowing for a deeper, more objective examination of emotional and cognitive processes.
