How does ketamine work on the brain?

Its rapid-acting nature makes it a valuable tool in managing treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD.

Moreover, its anti-inflammatory properties and influence on neurotrophic factors contribute to its neuroprotective effects. As research continues to unveil the intricate mechanisms of ketamine's action, its potential to revolutionize mental health treatment appears increasingly profound.
