Why Is Ketamine Used For Treatment-Resistant Depression?
An educational look at how ketamine works differently from many traditional depression treatments.
¡Hablamos Español!
Ketamine is used for treatment-resistant depression because it works through a different pathway than many standard antidepressants. That difference is why some people explore it after other options have not provided enough relief.
This is educational, not a promise of results. Care at our Aventura clinic is individualized.
How ketamine works
Ketamine primarily affects the glutamate system and may support neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections. Some people notice changes more quickly than with traditional medications, though experiences vary.
