medicineisfun: Ketamine and depression Used...

Hi everyone ^_^ My name is Kimberlin Ann. Welcome to my blog

See, unlike the rest of the free world, I didn't get here by accident. And if your parents have you for a reason, then that reason better exist. Because once it's gone, so are you.

I enjoy watching the sky, sunset and the stars. It makes me more relaxed and forget about all my worries.

I have Scoleciphobia. So bear with me if I panic when I see those things.

Usually I am silent, but if you talk, the game has just begun :)

I gave up a lot of things for me to start a new life in this new place.

I enjoy laughing.

I love when two people look at the same thing but see something different.

I get overly excited about small things.

I miss living by the beach.

Perfect is boring

I go with the flow.

I like to be organized.

Reading is one of my favorite things to do.

Call me weird, but I do believe that aliens once inhabit in our planet.

I'm skeptical about December 21, 2012

You'll never see me anywhere during the daytime. I'm a night person :)

Stopping time through photography.

Ketamine and depression

Used frequently as an animal sedative, ketamine can also be used to sedate humans and is also taken recreationally because of its hallucinogenic and euphoric effects. Molecular psychiatrist Nanxin Li and colleagues dosed rats with modest amounts of ketamine, and observed that the drug boosted signaling between neurons in the brain, and even led to healthy growth of synapses (Chronic depression can be linked to inhibited synaptic growth.) Ultimately, they concluded that ketamine might be useful in treating depression because it increases brain activity instantly - so there is no need to wait weeks or months for the drug to take effect.
