Researchers analyzed over 18,000 Twitter posts from 2010 to 2023 to understand what the public thinks about using ketamine to treat depression. They found that public opinion became much more positive after the FDA approved ketamine as a depression treatment in 2019. Most discussions consisted of personal stories from people who found ketamine helpful, especially those whose depression didn’t respond to other medications. While some people expressed caution and concerns, overall the public seems hopeful about ketamine’s potential.
