Description

Ketamine is a medication primarily used for anesthesia and pain relief. It belongs to the class of drugs called dissociative anesthetics and works by blocking certain receptors in the brain. In recent years, ketamine has also gained attention for its off-label use in treating depression and other mental health conditions, particularly treatment-resistant depression. It can produce dissociative effects, including feelings of detachment from reality, which is why it’s also known as a “party drug” when used recreationally.
