I had a friend who took a university study for depression and received a ketamine injection. The important thing is that they are now thinking the glutamate system is the problem, not serotonin. But most current drugs treat serotonin.

It would be wonderful if they could find a safe medication for depression that actually works. We have a tendency towards depression in my family, and it is miserable. I will say, when I went on a ketogenic diet for a couple of weeks, my depression was non-existent. Going back on it first of the year. I’ll have to look up how ketoacidosis affects glutamate.

...are now thinking the glutamate system is the problem.

So, did he end up getting a prescription for truffles? Or generic MSG?
