Why Ketamine Works Differently Than Your Typical Antidepressant?

At Goodness Psychiatry, we know how heavy deep sadness and worry can feel. Our oral ketamine pills work in a new way to bring relief fast. This means you could feel lighter in just hours, not weeks. We’re here for you in a calm, caring space. You don’t have to face this alone. Together, we’ll help you find hope again.

What Typical Antidepressants Do

Most pills you take for sadness try to balance chemicals like serotonin or dopamine in your brain. These pills can help. It could take a few weeks before you begin to feel improved. It’s necessary to take them daily. Sometimes they cause side effects like feeling sleepy or sick.

How Ketamine Is Different

Ketamine affects another brain chemical called glutamate. This substance aids communication between brain cells. When ketamine touches those glutamate parts, new paths can form in the brain. That can lift your mood faster than other pills.

  • It can start to work in hours or days instead of weeks.
  • It helps build new brain links.
  • It can significantly alter your emotions.

This is why ketamine feels different. It can bring light when other medicines have not helped.

Why Speed Matters
