With PTSD, scary memories can pop up and make people feel very upset. Ketamine is like a superhero who fights against these scary memories. It helps to make these memories less powerful, so they don't upset the person as much. This can help people feel safer and less scared.
Think of PTSD as a monster in a video game that brings up scary memories, which makes you feel upset and afraid. Ketamine acts like a special power-up in the game that can fight this monster. When you use this power-up, it makes the monster less scary and less able to bring up those upsetting memories. This makes you feel safer and less fearful, helping you to live your life more comfortably.
