Ketamine for Treating Depression

Dr. Manevitz commented for a WebMD article on using Ketamine as a treatment for depression.

“Ketamine is not a miracle drug at all,” Manevitz says. “It may momentarily take them away from that catastrophic place they’re in with depression, but you’re not addressing the rest of the patient. It’s a complex issue to treat psychiatric issues, and you have to treat the whole patient.”
