Depression treatment has long relied on medications that take weeks or even months to show results. But what happens when those treatments don’t work? For nearly one-third of people with Major Depressive Disorder, traditional antidepressants fail to provide relief. This condition, known as treatment-resistant depression, leaves many individuals searching for alternatives. In recent years, ketamine therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking development in mental health care. Once known primarily as an anaesthetic, ketamine is now being studied and used for its rapid antidepressant effects, sometimes reducing symptoms within hours. By acting on the brain’s glutamate system, ketamine may help restore neural connections involved in mood regulation, offering new possibilities for people who have struggled with conventional treatments.
