Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used medically for inducing anesthesia and managing pain. It is also used off-label to treat depression, particularly in cases of treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, leading to effects such as pain relief, sedation, and amnesia.
