Ketamine produces immediate antidepressant effects and has inspired research into next-generation treatments. Ketamine also has short term dissociative effects, in which individuals report altered consciousness and perceptions of themselves and their environment. However, whether ketamine's dissociative side effects are necessary for its antidepressant effects remains unclear. This perspective examines the relationship between dissociative effects and acute and longer-lasting antidepressant response to ketamine and other N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists. Presently, the literature does not support the conclusion that dissociation is necessary for antidepressant response to ketamine. However, further work is needed to explore the relationship between dissociation and antidepressant response at the molecular, biomarker, and psychological levels.
氯胺酮能立即产生抗抑郁效果,激发了对下一代治疗方法的研究。氯胺酮也有短期的分离效应,个体报告意识改变和对自己和环境的感知改变。然而,氯胺酮的分离副作用是否对其抗抑郁效果是必要的尚不清楚。本观点探讨了分离作用与氯胺酮和其他 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体拮抗剂的急性和更持久的抗抑郁反应之间的关系。目前,文献并不支持分离是对氯胺酮抗抑郁反应所必需的结论。然而,需要进一步的工作来探索分离与分子、生物标志物和心理水平抗抑郁反应之间的关系。
