Population scale data reveals the antidepressant effects of ketamine and other therapeutics approved for non-psychiatric indications

Abstract Current therapeutic approaches to depression fail for millions of patients due to lag in clinical response and non-adherence. Here we provide new support for the antidepressant effect of an anesthetic drug, ketamine, by Inverse-Frequency Analysis of eight million reports from the FDA Advers...
