How Ketamine Works Differently

Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine works on a different brain system

Traditional Antidepressants

  • Take 6-8 weeks to show effects
  • Target serotonin/norepinephrine systems
  • Work for only 60-70% of patients

Ketamine Therapy

  • Rapid effects within hours to days
  • Targets NMDA receptors and glutamate
  • Effective for treatment-resistant cases
