In this episode, Drs Dave Rabin (board certified psychiatrist) and Johnathan Edwards (board certified anesthesiologist) tackle the controversial topic of ketamine in light of the tragic death of actor Matthew Perry. Together, they explore the safety profile of ketamine and its legitimate uses in treating depression and suicidal ideation and dispel inaccuracies regarding its association with Perry’s passing. Edwards, a leading expert in ketamine-assisted therapy and author of The Revolutionary Ketamine, offers his insights on the pressing need for effective mental health treatments. As suicide rates continue to rise, particularly among young people, this episode emphasizes the potential of ketamine as a life-saving treatment and the importance of therapy in conjunction with medication.
