My guess is that they are going to try to alter the Ketamine so that it doesn't cause hallucinations while maintaining the anti-depressive qualaties of the drug. I completely understand why they aren't going out and giving this medication to everyone with depression. There are side effects - one of which you spend the first several hours zoned out after the shot is given. Also - the current method of diagnosis for depression is a list of symptoms - no medical test. Anyone can go to their doctor and claim to be hopeless and unable to get out of bed in order to get Ketamine. Basically they have to find a way to keep it from being of any value to people with addiction problems. They also need to figure out a way to get rid of the zoned out effect it has after being given. I don't really think being a zoned out zombie everytime I take a drug is any more pleasing than the side effects I currently have from SSRIs.
