Profile Image for Kathleen

An informative introduction to the use of Ketamine for treatment resistant conditions.

The author presented a cautiously optimistic summary of the benefits as well as risks, equitable access to individuals as well as some practical insight to assure equitable access to individuals in need. His cautious consideration that further research is necessary as well as ethical considerations of this rapidly emerging treatment modality, particularly for assuring effective methods of administration with oversight to assure that motivation for financial gain by clinics doesn't result in delivery by less qualified professionals or interfere with ethical delivery of treatment. A very good introduction with emphasis on prudence going forward.
