Originally approved by the FDA in 1970 as an anesthetic, ketamine’s powerful antidepressant effects, when given at subanesthetic doses, were first discovered in the early 2000s by researchers at Yale.
It may be the most important discovery in psychiatry in the past fifty years. Ketamine therapy for depression began a revolution in how cognitive and mood disorders were treated.
Over 20 years later, dozens of peer-reviewed, well-controlled studies have demonstrated that IV Ketamine Therapy is highly efficacious in treating depression, suicidal ideation, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, and addiction/substance abuse disorders, even in patients who have not responded to conventional medication.
