What are the risk of ketamine treatment?
Ketamine is an FDA approved dissociative anesthetic that has been around for decades. It is widely used in surgery and emergency medicine. More recently it has been discovered that ketamine has a tremendous benefit in the mental health world. As such, many practitioners now use the drug "off-label" for treatments of mental health disorders. Although not FDA approved for treatment of mental health disorders, it is considered safe and effective.

Physcial side effects are generally mild and include increased blood pressure and heart rate, nausea, dizziness. Some respiratory depression and a larger degree of mental dissociation than expected may occur.
