Dissociatives are the most under-appreciated class of drugs.

Mechanisms of action are difficult to be objective about. It is a lot more complicated than dopamine and serotonin regulation and uptake, receptors and antagonists.

Today was pleasant, despite every reason not to be. It's like the "hope" qualia.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for. So - on biochemistry level we don’t know why it works. But somehow, controlled temporary disassociation seems to… interrupt negative ideation?

Also TIL “qualia” - what a wonderful word.

Yes. Depression originates from the ego. Vitamin K suppresses the ego.
