Ketamine as a Treatment Option for Severe Borderline Personality Disorder

Summary

Ketamine treatment in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may reduce symptom severity, but the evidence is preliminary and based on small samples. The review suggests that ketamine could be a potential therapeutic option for BPD, particularly for comorbid depression, though more rigorous studies are needed to confirm efficacy and safety. The authors note that existing studies have significant limitations, including lack of control groups and short follow-up periods.
