Depression se bahar kaise aaye. How to overcome depression. Role of glutamate in depression.

In this video dr Mayank Agrawal is speaking how to come out of depression with glutamate medicines. Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. It plays a vital role in learning, memory, mood regulation, and overall brain function. However, imbalances in glutamate levels are linked to several psychiatric and neurological disorders, including depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, and Alzheimer's disease. In this video, Dr. Mayank Agrawal (Senior Psychiatrist, Surat) explains:✔ What is glutamate and how it works in the brain✔ How glutamate imbalance affects mental health✔ Disorders associated with excess or deficient glutamate✔ USFDA-approved medications that target glutamatergic systems✔ Clinical uses, effectiveness, and alternatives 🔹 USFDA Approved Medications Acting on Glutamate 1. Ketamine / Esketamine (Spravato) – for treatment-resistant depression & suicidal ideation 🧠 Role of Ketamine in Depression Ketamine is a fast-acting antidepressant that works in a completely different way from traditional antidepressants like SSRIs or SNRIs. It has shown rapid and significant effects in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and suicidal ideation, often within hours of administration. 🔬 Mechanism of Action: Glutamate Modulation:Ketamine is an NMDA receptor antagonist, meaning it blocks a specific receptor of the neurotransmitter glutamate, which plays a key role in mood regulation, neuroplasticity, and synaptic function. Boosts Brain Connectivity:By increasing glutamate release through NMDA inhibition, ketamine enhances synaptic plasticity and restores neural circuits that are impaired in depression. Rapid Effect:Unlike traditional antidepressants which may take weeks, ketamine can reduce symptoms of depression and suicidal thoughts within hours, making it useful in emergencies or severe cases. 💊 Clinical Use: Approved Form:The USFDA has approved Esketamine (Spravato), a nasal spray form of ketamine, for: Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) Major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior Administration:Typically given under medical supervision in specialized clinics (IV infusion or nasal spray), 1–2 times weekly during the induction phase, followed by maintenance. ✅ Benefits: Rapid reduction in depressive symptoms Effective in treatment-resistant cases Can reduce suicidal thoughts quickly Novel mechanism beyond serotonin-based treatments 2. Memantine – for Alzheimer’s disease (sometimes used off-label in OCD & autism) 3. Lamotrigine – mood stabilizer used in bipolar depression 4. Riluzole – approved for ALS, studied off-label in anxiety & OCD 5. Auvelity (Dextromethorphan-Bupropion) – newly approved for major depressive disorder 6. Tianeptine – not FDA approved but used in some countries as an atypical antidepressant. 🔬 Key Functions of Glutamate: ✔ Synaptic plasticity (learning & memory) ✔ Excitatory neurotransmission ✔ Brain development & neuroprotection ✔ Emotional processing & mood regulation Following topic are covered depression se bahar kaise aaye depression se kaise bahar nikle depression se kaise nikale depression se bahar kaise nikale depression se kaise bahar nikale depression se kaise bache depression ko kaise dur kare depression se bahar kaise nikle #Glutamate #MentalHealth #KetamineTherapy #Auvelity #Esketamine #OCD #DepressionTreatment #AnxietyDisorders #Psychiatry #Neurotransmitters #DrMayankAgrawal #BrainChemistry #BipolarDisorder #GlutamateImbalance Check out our video playlist- 👉Depression se kaise nikale.
