Ah, yes: what could possibly be better than shooting ourselves up with horse tranquilizers, moonlighting as narcotics?
Ketamine 'acts like magic' to lift depression, study says
And not that I'm skeptical, or anything, but how does anybody know that neuroconnections are made/restored by this drug? There are billions of neuroconnections on a piece of grey matter the size of a pinhead. Do we have microscopes that powerful, now? And are we able to see inside a person's head while they're still alive, in order to watch this process taking place?
Word up: randomly creating connections in a scattergun approach is a recipe for disaster. There is no fucking magic, and one cannot create a facsimile of something that doesn't exist. Small wonder, then, that it appears that this is nothing other than a suppression device, with relief of depressive symptoms lasting a week.

"The drug quickly induces the regeneration of synaptic connections in the brain..."
Who cannot believe it? It's considered "scientific" and for those who have not a clue about what is going on will trust it.
Yak!
Ana: Well, that's the issue, isn't it? That quotation is most likely a hypothesis, much like the discredited Chemical Imbalance theory, but because it's stated as a fact, and has experts stating that fact, it will acquire the status of Truth and never be questioned. Until, twenty years down the line, people start to realize that in order to be "not depressed" they have to take this drug (or a tablet form of same), for the rest of their lives. And the things that they were depressed about, in the first place, will still be there.
yep,
the art of "healing" with hypothesis that is what medicine became.
"Oh My! My sinapses will all be regenerated. I'm so happy!"
hehe
Ana: LOL. Yes, it's not enough to make the suggestion that this is what is going to happen. Perhaps the experts haven't realized that, yet (but I can't believe that I'm the first to notice it)!

Matt,
you are the first to notice that...
I'm having some problems in being included in "those few who first notice and tell".
I'll write you an e-mail.
