Abstract
Ketamine has been shown to rapidly improve mood within a few hours or days of administration. This effect can last for a week or more following a single administration of ketamine. The safety of long-term ketamine exposure is not well known. Future research is urgently needed to better understand long-term risks as well as evidence-based treatment regimens.
