Ketamine is an off label treatment. Many of the practitioners aren't even psychiatrists. There are nurses, anesthesiologists, and pain specialists that do this as a side gig to make money. Your statement reads like we should put a lot of trust in these people when it's actually the opposite. One of the biggest clinics just hired a CEO to expand their business.

The time that the effect lasts is variable. A patient may need an infusion every week. That's $26,000 a year in some cases.

I actually had a doctor tell me that the infusions last 6 months.
