Ketamine and Esketamine Delivering Results
Ketamine and Esketamine are the first rapid-acting antidepressants that have demonstrated the ability to significantly improve depressive symptoms within 24 hours. Both treatments represent the first treatments for depression that are mechanistically different from the antidepressants that have been available for the past 70 years. In addition to being highly effective, they have demonstrated to offer rapid symptom relief, especially in persons who have not benefited from conventional antidepressant approaches. In addition, evidence now indicates that both ketamine and esketamine are effective in persons affected by depression and suicidality.
