Ketamine has demonstrated efficacy in treating adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), with additional off-label benefits reported for various psychiatric disorders. Herein, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the therapeutic applications of ketamine across multiple mental disorders, excluding mood disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1092852924000580_sec2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a multidatabase literature search of randomized controlled trials and open-label trials investigating the therapeutic use of ketamine in treating mental disorders. Studies utilizing the same psychological assessments for a given disorder were pooled using the generic inverse variance method to generate a pooled estimated mean difference.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1092852924000580_sec3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The search in OVID (MedLine, Embase, AMED, PsychINFO, JBI EBP Database), EBSCO CINAHL Plus, Scopus, and Web of Science yielded 44 studies. Ketamine had a statistically significant effect on PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) scores (pooled estimate = \u201228.07, 95% CI = [\u201240.05, \u201216.11], p &lt; 0.001), Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) scores (pooled estimate = \u201214.07, 95% CI = [\u201226.24, \u20121.90], p = 0.023), and Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) scores (pooled estimate = \u20128.08, 95% CI = [\u201213.64, \u20122.52], p = 0.004) in individuals with PTSD, treatment-resistant PTSD (TR-PTSD), and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), respectively. For alcohol use disorders and at-risk drinking, there was disproportionate reporting of decreased urge to drink, increased rate of abstinence, and longer time to relapse following ketamine treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1092852924000580_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Extant literature supports the potential use of ketamine for the treatment of PTSD, OCD, and alcohol use disorders with significant improvement of patient symptoms.
