For people who do not respond to standard treatments, the use of a drug representing a new paradigm represents hope. I'm glad ketamine is being investigated. Perhaps ketamine itself will be a disappointment. However, those properties that produce an antidepressant effect might be instructive in inspiring new paths to treating depression.

I am well aware of how painful and debilitating depression can be so don't bother taking that angle.I question psychiatry's methods, because they are directly effecting millions of peoples lives and they don't seem to answer to anybody when they get it wrong. They deserve to be questioned.
You seem to find this confronting and seem to be negative of anyone who doesn't accept the general wisdom of psychiatry.
If you are at all familiar with what ketamine can do... the wrong dose, to high or to low then you would understand why I am skeptical about it.
I have seen Ketamine leave people with permanent drug induced psychosis that resembles schizophrenia.
SLS you seem to offer a lot of advice to people here on what drugs to take.
Tell me this though, do you understand the human mind? Do you understand what effects the drugs that you are recomending have on peoples minds?
