Key findings The authors argue that ketamine, beyond its anesthetic and analgesic uses, is useful for depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma-related conditions, bipolar disorder, behavioral and eating abnormalities, and addictive disorders. They propose that administration in specialized ketamine clinics with adequate observation and instruction improves behavioral quality and reduces stress, anxiety, and pain.
