In a recent interview, Elon Musk revealed he uses a prescription for ketamine to manage what he described as a "negative chemical state" similar to depression.
- Ketamine is a medication primarily used for inducing anaesthesia and sedation in medical settings.
- It belongs to a class of drugs called dissociative anaesthetics, which means it can cause a person to feel detached from reality and experience a sense of disconnection from their surroundings.
- While ketamine shows promise in treating depression, especially treatment-resistant cases, it is not a cure. It is typically used in conjunction with other therapies.
- Misuse of ketamine can lead to harmful effects such as hallucinations, confusion, dissociation, and in high doses, it can cause serious health complications or be life-threatening.
