Experimental studies conducted on rabbits enabled the authors to reveal the central mechanism of the ketamine effect. Based on the experimental data obtained, the authors elaborated and used clinically the method of balance ketamine anesthesia consisting in a combination of ketamine with antispasmatic drugs: seduxen and mydocalm. This method of anesthesia is recommended for eliminating ketamine side effects.

Background: Novel antidepressive substances are challenging the explanations for the mechanisms of action of traditional psychopharmacology.

Objective: What could be the shared effects of various antidepressants and in this context what role do extrapharmacological factors, such as the body and environment, play?

Material And Method: The available literature on clinical and preclinical data for assumed combined active factors of serotonergic psychedelic drugs, (es)ketamine, monoaminergic antidepressants and zuranolone are presented and the influence of context factors on the individual mechanisms of action is discussed.

Results: There are many indications that classical and novel pharmacological approaches could share similar mechanisms of action in the treatment of depression.
