Psychiatric News (1/28) reported, “Recreational ketamine use appears to be associated with depressive symptoms in youth,” researchers concluded after examining “data from 15,673 youth who participated in the Monitoring the Future survey, an annual survey administered to middle- and high-school students in approximately 130 public and private schools in the 48 contiguous states.” The study also revealed that “the higher the dose of ketamine and more frequent use, the higher the risk of depression.” The findings were published online Jan. 25 in the American Journal on Addictions.
