Addiction specialist discusses the dangers of ketamine abuse, reflects on Matthew Perry's overdose

Like other psychiatric drugs, ketamine can help people who are struggling with their mental health - but when misused, medications like ketamine can be dangerous, even deadly.

The death of actor Matthew Perry was a grim reminder of that. The 54-year-old actor was found dead in his Jacuzzi following a ketamine overdose. The Medical Board of California is still investigating the doctors charged in connection with Perry's death. At one point a psychiatrist prescribed ketamine to the actor but he eventually began buying it from illegal sources.
