ketamine therapy
Anesthetic depression intervention
Ketamine therapy is the medical use of ketamine—an anesthetic and dissociative drug—to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.
Administered in controlled clinical settings, often by IV infusion or nasal spray, it can produce rapid relief in patients who haven't responded to conventional treatments: After years of failed antidepressants, ketamine therapy finally helped.
