From my point of view - and I've gone through almost each available antidepressants in 10 years battle with depression - every new solution, that will relieve patients from their struggles (even for short part of time) - is a bless. Sure ketamine won't solve problem permanently, but todays 2nd and 3rd generation medicaments dont do it either. There is a moment, when you simply want to feel a relief - from sorrow, stagnation, fear, guilt and hopelessness. If it's true, that ketamine gives you this relief, then sign me up! :) And it don't have to do anything else. Because, there are people who simply cannot remember how it feels to live without depression - if you can somehow remind them how it is not to feel anything depressing, this may be powerfull boost for keep fighting.
