Ketamine infusions may treat a variety of mood disorders and pain conditions. There is often less research and clinical evidence for other symptoms. However, it may be appropriate to try ketamine infusions, especially given the safe profile of ketamine when administered by Anesthesiologists/Anesthetists in a clinical setting.
