KETAMINE: From PARTY DRUG to PRESCRIPTION Treatment — What’s the Real Story? | Dr Chris Raynor

Ketamine: From Party Drug to Prescription — What’s the Real Story?

First, it was a surgical anesthetic.

Then, it crashed the rave scene as a party drug.

Now? It’s being hailed as a miracle treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD — even suicidality.

But is ketamine truly a mental health breakthrough... or just another dangerously hyped shortcut?

🎙️ From Elon Musk’s quiet admissions to Theo Von’s wild therapy chair stories, ketamine’s gone mainstream — fast. Clinics are popping up across North America. Celebrities swear by it. Some patients feel better in hours, not weeks.

But here's the catch:
💥 It's still addictive.
⚠️ It still messes with your body — not just your brain.
🧪 And the long-term science? Still very incomplete.

In this episode, Dr. Chris Raynor — orthopedic surgeon, science nerd, and not your average YouTuber — breaks down:
✅ What ketamine actually does in the brain
✅ Why it works so fast (when it does)
✅ What side effects people don’t talk about enough
✅ And whether it’s a revolution… or just another ride into the K-hole

👀 Watch before you book your drip.
