Show Notes
This week on The People's Scientist podcast, Dr. Dennis Charney and I discuss some scientific evidence on ketamine as a rapidly acting anti-depressant in individuals living with treatment resistant major depression. Intravenous low doses of ketamine may have lasting anti-depressants effects of on average up to 19 days at a time. Ketamine may also reduce craving and rates of relapse in individuals living with cocaine addiction. We go into further details on mechanism of action and how nutrition may also play a role. Follow me on social media to see the papers I reference and for more tidbits of information on the week's topic
