Ketamine works by increasing the availability of glutamate, a neurotransmitter essential for brain plasticity and resilience. This results in rapid improvements in mood and anxiety levels, often within hours or days. Unlike traditional anxiety medications, which may take weeks to show effects, ketamine provides fast-acting relief that can help patients move forward with their mental health journey.
