Here’s What To Know About Ketamine

Initially licensed in 1970 as an anesthetic for medical and veterinary usage, ketamine is being considered for depression therapy, especially when other therapies fail. 

Dr. William Prueitt, head of Silver Hill Hospital’s Ketamine Treatment Program, praises the drug’s success for treatment-resistant depression, as reported by Fox News.

Dr. Prueitt believes ketamine may help moderate-to-severely depressed people who have failed conventional treatments.  Ketamine affects brain neurotransmitters differently than typical antidepressants, which may explain its effectiveness where others have failed.

The drug may be given intravenously (IV) or as a nasal spray (esketamine), which can relieve symptoms quickly in a few weeks. Patients could feel happier, more optimistic, and think less negatively.

Ketamine is safe when delivered by trained medical experts, but unsupervised usage is risky. Dr. Prueitt highlights the need to abstain from self-medication and the necessity of obtaining a mental health assessment and medical screening before beginning ketamine therapy.
