Ketamin Therapy
Ketamine is believed to influence the brain’s neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate. One theory suggests it may promote the growth of new nerve cell connections, enhancing communication and fostering positive moods.
Another proposes that ketamine reduces the activity of hyperactive brain regions like the amygdala, responsible for processing intense emotions. By blocking NMDA receptors, ketamine dampens overactive brain circuits associated with anxiety.
Low Side Effect Profile
Minimal complications compared to traditional antidepressants which can cause weight gain or sexual dysfunction.
Alternative for Non-Responders
