Ketamine Therapy
History of Ketamine
Ketamine, first synthesized in 1962 by Dr. Calvin L. Stevens was initially developed as an anesthetic with unique properties that made it valuable for medicine. In recent decades, research has revealed ketamine’s significant potential beyond anesthesia, particularly in treating severe, treatment-resistant depression. This has led to a resurgence in its use and research, positioning ketamine as a promising option in modern mental health treatment and offering new hope to those who have not responded to traditional therapies.

“We know in depression that the number and the strength of these interconnections decreases. With Ketamine, we see a regrowth in the interconnectedness and number of these synapses to connect to each other.
