Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a common anesthetic, known as laughing gas, and has shown promise in the treatment of depression
It has long been known that nitrous oxide can temporarily boost mood and relieve pain, so the original name of laughing gas is laughing gas, but this effect is thought to disappear quickly
This gas seems to affect the brain mainly by blocking molecules on nerve cells called N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors
It is not yet known how NMDA receptors change mood
<P>2014
Long-term use of nitrous oxide can cause nausea and headaches
Two weeks later, after half-dose treatment, depressive symptoms were reduced by an average of 5 points on the commonly used depression rating scale, which is a significant benefit compared to placebo
Like ketamine, nitrous oxide helps to improve mood quickly
