How does ketamine work for depression? The short answer is by rewiring the brain

Ketamine works on your brain’s glutamate receptors. It regrows and reactivates parts of your brain called synapses that haven’t been working. It helps the brain’s ability to change, which can help it shift out of depression, helping with neuroplasticity. After the brain is “rewired” antidepressants and psychotherapy that didn’t work before ketamine treatments may help afterward.

Ketamine for depression can be administered via IV, troches ( like a lozenge) or in nasal spray form called Esketamine or Spravato.
