RE: Research News: New Insights Into How Ketamine Stops Depression

in #steemstem7 years ago

Ketamine can have profound long term effects from single intervention (without behavioral therapy used in concert with it), which do seem to fade over weeks.

I attended a 'Grand Round' at BIDMC a few years ago about ketamine and depression, where the researchers stated that their preliminary data suggested that ketamine had far better long term effects on treatment-resistant depression than many of the commonly employed techniques!
