Ketamine for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Approximately 30% of individuals with major depressive disorder do not find relief in the treatment.
Depression is a universal and unimaginably painful illness that can be hard to identify. When someone doesn’t respond well to antidepressants, they have treatment-resistant depression which makes it difficult for them when doing things like getting out of bed or conversing with friends and family members.
Ketamine doesn’t focus on the exact same brain functions as antidepressant medications such as fluoxetine (Prozac), venlafaxine (Effexor), and sertraline (Zoloft). Instead, it obstructs a receptor referred to as N-methyl-D-aspartate or NMDA. It might be that this is due to its hallucinogenic properties which can create an out-of-touch adventure for some individuals.
Why Ketamine?
Ketamine is been proven to be effective in 75% to 80% of patients who have utilized this treatment option, while more standard treatment methods such as antidepressants are only effective in about 20% of patients.
