Ketamine was developed in the 1960's and was approved by the FDA for use as an anesthetic drug in the early 1970’s. Since then, it has been used in hospitals all over the world for anesthesia. In the early 2000’s, researchers discovered that Ketamine was much more versatile than previously thought and had uses beyond surgical anesthesia. This led to Ketamine being used to treat a multitude of different mental health diagnoses, some of which include Major Depression, Treatment Resistant Depression, Anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. They found that it can also be used to treat different kinds of chronic pain such as the pain from CRPS, Neuropathic Pain, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Migraines, and Small Fiber Neuropathy, to name a few. Researchers also discovered that Ketamine can significantly improve one's mood.
