The drugs that will act like ketamine, but targeted more directly at BDNF production, should be here at some point. It is thought that these drugs will "jump start" the recovery process when given in conjunction with a standard antidepressant. This should bring relief to patients more quickly, and mitigate suicidal ideations. So, the administration of these drugs in combination produces a virtually instantaneous response that will seemingly last long enough to cover the latency period of antidepressants, and could possibly be recommended for long-term treatment.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
