What Ketamine treats
Clearance, protocol and insurance pathways differ by diagnosis. Each guide below sets out where Ketamine stands for that condition in Tennessee — what the FDA has cleared, how long a course runs, and what insurers ask for before they approve it.
Depression
Depression is a debilitating disorder marked by low energy and loss of interest. Ketamine for depression has been shown to provide rapid relief, often when other treatments have failed.

Cleared, off-label, and why the difference matters
The FDA has cleared Ketamine for major depressive disorder, depression with anxiety, OCD and smoking cessation, plus adolescent depression as an add-on treatment. Clinics may also offer it off-label for PTSD and other conditions. Off-label does not mean unsafe — it means the evidence has not gone through clearance, and insurers usually will not pay for it on its own.
If a clinic promises Ketamine will treat something outside those areas without explaining that it is off-label and self-pay, treat it as a warning sign.
Ask any clinic these four questions
- 1. Is Ketamine FDA-cleared for my specific diagnosis, or off-label?
- 2. Will you run the insurance authorisation, and what do you need from me?
- 3. Who supervises the sessions, and is a prescriber on site?
- 4. What happens if I do not respond by session twenty?
