Matthew Perry's Journey with Ketamine: From Therapy to Tragic End

The autopsy report for Matthew Perry revealed that he died from the effects of ketamine, a drug he had in his system after undergoing ketamine infusion therapy as part of his mental health treatment. Ketamine, originally approved as an anesthetic, has gained attention for its potential benefits in managing treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine clinics provide the drug off-label, typically in lower dosages and under medical supervision. While ketamine can cause hallucinogenic effects and negative side effects when used recreationally, it has shown promise in helping individuals with depression and suicidal thoughts. Celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Lamar Odom have also praised ketamine therapy for its positive impact on their mental health.
