The Benefits of Ketamine for Depression
Ketamine has this cool feature that it creates something called neuroplasticity. After you've had ketamine, after it's even left your system, you release something called BDNF brain derived neurotropic factor. Your brain starts growing and changing synapses, start getting formed. We know forgive someone who's depressed ketamine. They feel better in about two hours and it lasts about seven days. And that's the exact same timeframe that we see those changes in the brains of mice.
