Ketamine is now being offered as an innovative, cutting edge and effective treatment for severe and debilitating depression. It has also been shown to be effective for management of other psychiatric illnesses including PTSD, addiction, OCD, and certain pain disorders. The therapeutic effects from Ketamine can be almost immediate which makes this a unique treatment in the field of psychiatry.
