Better to consult a psychiatrist in-person, near your place of living.

Ketamine helps in depressive disorder or depressive phase of bipolar mood disorder. It doesn't help in mania, hypomania or mixed phase of bipolar disorder.
Your condition needs to be assessed first, to come to conclusion if ketamine infusions are going to help you or not!
I have experience of administering more than 300 ketamine infusion for my patients suffering from treatment resistant depressive phase of mood disorder conditions.
