Ketamine, a 50-year-old drug, has been a popular club drug and combat anesthetic for over 50 years. It was approved in 2019 for depression treatment by the FDA. However, concerns over its long-term effects have led to a "black box" warning. The author explores the drug's scientific history, clinical use, and antidepressant properties. The book also discusses safety concerns and future research directions for understanding and treating psychiatric disorders.
