Ketamine is like a super-fast helper for your brain. Imagine your brain as a garden. In depression, some parts of this garden might be a bit withered or struggling to grow. Ketamine acts like a super-fast fertilizer. It helps new connections grow quickly in your brain garden, helping you feel better and happier.
Imagine your brain as a bustling city. In depression, it's as though some roads in the city are blocked or not built properly. This makes it harder for thoughts and feelings to travel around and for you to feel happy. Now, imagine Ketamine as a construction crew. It comes in very quickly, working super-fast to fix the roads or even build new ones. This allows thoughts and feelings to travel better and can help you feel happier and less depressed.
