What to know before you try psychedelic ketamine therapy in New York City
If you live in New York City, you’ve likely passed or heard of a clinic where ketamine — a hospital anesthetic and psychedelic party drug — is used as a mental health treatment.
Ketamine differs from most anesthetics because it doesn’t totally suppress brain activity. After its discovery in the 1960s, interest in ketamine as a psychiatric therapy came and went for a few decades, but blossomed in 2000found the drug caused rapid antidepressant effects.
“While ketamine works rapidly, the improvement doesn’t last — it’s not a cure,” Grunebaum said. “If you stop ketamine treatments, usually depression will come back.” Overall, side effects underscore why ketamine is not, “something people should take home and use in an unsupervised way,” explained Grunebaum.
Some of the reflections that come up center around feeling small in the scope of the universe — and feeling comforted by that, Franke said.
