When a drug like ketamine shows so much promise, consistently (esp. in hard to treat, resistant and bipolar depression) in clinical trials one wonders why such an option is not currently available.
Think of it, a drug that works quickly and doesn't need to be taken on a daily basis. It is closer to a cure than other drugs have been able to get.
But this is the exact problem. Drug companies don't want us to be well. Ketamine is closer to a cure than all other treatments to date.
Why seek approval for a pill that may only need to be taken a few times a year? They're far more interested in drugs with questionable efficacy and nasty withdrawal syndrome.
