(Urbandale, IA) -- A Clinic for patients with treatment-resistant depression is moving to West Des Moines due to growing demand. Ketamine was first approved as an anesthetic by the FDA in 1970, and later recognized as a treatment for depression after a 2006 landmark study published by the National Institute of Mental Health. The treatment needs to be prescribed by a doctor. The Iowa Ketamine Clinic plans to move by next month. It offers both nasal-spray and in IV treatment.
