About Depression
Depressive disorders often manifest as periods of emotional distress characterized by sadness or irritability. Physical symptoms such as fatigue and cognitive changes including difficulty planning, organizing, and paying attention are also common. Some people experience recurrent depressive episodes, while others’ symptoms are chronic. Although many people experience depressive symptoms, moderate to severe depression can become quite debilitating.
Ketamine and Depression
In studies on ketamine and depression, people with severe depression saw their symptoms ease just a few hours after treatment. Some studies saw up to eighty-five percent of people who tried ketamine for depression show marked improvement. Researchers also demonstrated that weekly treatments extended the remission of symptoms in people with otherwise treatment-resistant depression, sometimes up to several weeks after the treatment program ended.
