Ketamine is a drug known for its benefits as an anesthetic inducer and to reduce the possibility of complications such as exacerbation of neuropathic pain and hyperalgesia associated with opioids. In this review we will focus on other indications in which it has also proven to be useful and that, under adequate observation and instruction in an infrastructure designed for it (ketamine clinics), improves the quality of behavior and decreases stress, anxiety and pain. Among the indications for its use are depressive disorders, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and those related to emotional trauma; bipolar disorder, abnormalities in behavior and eating intake as well as addictive disorders.
