Ketamine Therapy: Curious, Skeptical, or Somewhere in Between? (The Edge)

Ketamine therapy is everywhere right now — and opinions about it are strong. Some people see it as a breakthrough in mental health. Others feel uneasy about what it means to bring a drug like ketamine into a therapeutic setting. In this Friday episode, Kelly and Chip have an honest, open conversation about where they actually land. Kelly asks Chip whether he’d ever consider ketamine therapy himself, and he shares insights from friends who have tried it — what seemed helpful, what raised questions, and what surprised him. Together, they unpack why ketamine tends to be judged differently than antidepressants or other psychiatric medications. They talk about the cultural line we draw between “acceptable” mental health treatments and those that feel more controversial, and what that says about how we think about healing, control, and stigma.
