Ketamine is a breakthrough medicine of the mind. It can rapidly—often very quickly—lift the symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and other conditions. For most people, the action of a single small dose of ketamine lasts for a week and possibly longer.

In addition, the subjective effects on consciousness and the psyche often lead to profound emotional and psychological insights.
Ketamine, a Schedule III medication used in assisted psychotherapy, is an off-label treatment for various chronic treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
