A Novel, Brief,Fully Automated Intervention to extend the Antidepressant effect of a Single Ketamine infusion:
A Randomized Clinical trial
Published: 21 SEP 2022
Results:
Ketamine rapidly and significantly reduced depression scores at 24 hours post infusion.Depression scores remained significantly and stably low over a 30-day period. Ketamine is posited to reverse the molecular signature of depression via synaptogenic and neuroplasticity effects at the molecular level.

"I was suicidal with a plan and ketamine stopped that in it's tracks. After the 3rd infusion i was getting in tickle fights with my husband. I can't believe how fast I've been getting better and happy and thinking about goals. With the helping hands of psytimepharmaceuticals so am thankful. Cheers!"
What is Ketamine
Ketamine is a short-acting general anesthetic that’s been around since the 1970s. It was first used in the United States for sedation and pain management during the Vietnam War. It continues to have many medical uses today.
Ketamine is known as a dissociative anesthetic. Research from 2018 suggests ketamine may work by binding to the
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain to
block glutamate.
Glutamate is an important neurotransmitter, a kind of brain chemical that plays a role in typical brain function.
Researchers believe this activity helps with ketamine’s uses in anesthesia, pain management, and depression
treatment. Ketamine also has partial effects on other brain receptors including receptors for:
● opioids
● Serotonin
● Gaba
● sigma
● Dopamine
Scientists are still studying how ketamine’s interaction with these brain chemicals affects the body. But some research from 2014 shows ketamine’s interactions with these brain receptors may play a role in its pain management, anti-inflammatory, and antidepressanteffects.
