Ketamine has gained popularity in the treatment of mental health disorders, with some doctors offering injectable doses for patients to self-administer. However, concerns have been raised about the dangers of unsupervised ketamine use.
Originally approved as an anesthetic in the 1970s, ketamine has only recently been indicated for treating depression. Dr. Marc Siegel, a medical contributor, warns that ketamine can have various adverse effects, including causing hallucinations and affecting blood pressure.
