A 43-year-old man seeking treatment for alcoholism and depression was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. Over three years, a series of low-dose ketamine therapy sessions combined with integrative approaches led to resolution of severe alcoholism, a reduction in violent thoughts, and decreased depression symptoms. The case suggests that, with additional precautions, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can produce clinical improvements in depression, alcohol abuse, and antisocial personality traits.
