Attitudes and Perceptions of Portuguese Psychiatrists and Psychologists on the Clinical Use of Ketamine
There was a favorable attitude toward ketamine use among Portuguese psychiatrists and psychologists, yet substantial educational gaps remain. Customized training addressing age, sex, and professional background is essential for safe and effective clinical integration of ketamine in treatment-resistant depression. Further studies should focus on longitudinal outcomes of ketamine treatment under standardized protocols to ensure efficacy and safety in clinical practice.
