What Makes Ketamine Different From Other Depression Treatments?

How ketamine vs antidepressants is often explained for people exploring care in Miami and Aventura.

¡Hablamos Español!

Many traditional antidepressants work primarily through serotonin and related pathways and may take weeks to show a full effect. Ketamine primarily affects the glutamate system and may support neuroplasticity.

That difference is one reason people with treatment-resistant depression look into ketamine for depression Miami options.
