"Ketamine Therapy: From Fringe to Mainstream in Treating Severe Depression"
A study by the University of Michigan and VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System found that ketamine therapy could be effective in treating severe or treatment-resistant depression in veterans, with nearly half of the participants experiencing significant relief after six weeks of treatment. VA press secretary Terrence Hayes backed ketamine therapy as an option for veterans, and psychiatrist Dr. Justin Gerstner emphasized the potential benefits of ketamine therapy, including its quick results and elimination of the need for daily medication. However, he also cautioned about the risks and variations in administration methods, urging for further research and regulation in the field.
