New episode dropping Friday at 4:00pm EST. In this episode, we explore how ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, is being investigated as a treatment for depression and related conditions. We discuss ketamine's role in promoting neuroplasticity — rewiring the brain at the microstructural level to help recovery from stress- and/or depression-induced pathology — and review the evidence from clinical trials, including a landmark 2023 meta-analysis. We will dive deep into the mechanisms of ketamine's neuroplastic potential in the brain what it means for the future of therapy.
