Dr. Matthew Mosquera, a Harvard-trained addiction psychiatrist, returns to talk about ketamine in psychiatric care.
He starts with the history: a surgical anesthetic developed in the 1960s and used widely in the Vietnam War. He explains how it is used today, how it differs from SSRIs, and the difference between esketamine, the FDA-approved nasal spray, and other forms. This is a conversation, not medical advice; talk with your own doctor.
