Ketamine for mental health healing grows in popularity

Over the past 50 years, research on psychedelics has come a long way from a time when psychedelic albums ruled the charts and psychedelic drugs influenced American counterculture. Today, research shows some of those same drugs are being used to help people escape a dark place.

"I mean, it's pretty profound," said Katy Parr, who sought ketamine therapy.

Parr, of Houston, has long struggled with depression, and says for years she's been prescribed several different anti-depressants. When the pills failed her, she turned to talk therapy as the only treatment that helped; until she saw a documentary on psychedelic healing.
