Elon Musk Discusses His Ketamine Use to Treat Depression

Elon Musk admitted in an interview to having a prescription for the dissociative drug ketamine to treat his depression.

Musk defended ketamine as a depression treatment that's better than standard antidepressants.

The interviewer, Don Lemon, asked Musk whether his ketamine use constitutes abuse or impacts his work.

Musk said he uses small doses, about once every other week, as prescribed by his doctor.

Musk said he hopes openly discussing his ketamine prescription will destigmatize the treatment and help others.
