Supposedly Shrooms of the magic variety work too. I stumbled upon that somewhere.

"by updating negative thoughts"

So ‘I’m worthless,’ ‘I’m unlovable,’ or ‘I’m a failure’ becomes...

‘I’m worthless,’ ‘I’m unlovable,’ or ‘I’m a failure’ but I mean that in the best possible way.

Yes. They can become obsessed with the Solid State Entities and their depression will be gone.

No control group? Worthless. Maybe just the positive reinforcement therapy worked.

Junkies swear that heroin cures depression too. Alcoholics, meth heads, coke fiends, sex addicts, fillintheblank addicts. Funny how that works huh?

I like how the whole push is take this hallucinogenic drug to relieve depression while honestly reporting the study that suggests this panacea is meaningless.

“First, it was not a blind or randomized study, which can impact bias in study results. It also included a small sample size and only took place over a week, indicating the need for studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up times.

The research cannot confirm that the effects of ketamine are unique to people with treatment-resistant depression.”

Kudos for acknowledging everything they’re saying is cow manure.

Chronic use of Ketamine causes the bladder to shrink and the ureters to clog resulting in very frequent urination and pain. Don’t take my word for it.

Depression is a mood disorder

Right out of the gate, I have a problem with this article.
How do we know it's a mood disorder rather than, say, something's made someone miserable? Is there a set of criteria to distinguish "mood disorder" from other things that leave a person feeling sad? There should be. Because there's nothing "disordered" about feeling sad if your dog died or you lost a great job or your house burned down; indeed would you not have some sort of disorder if such things did not depress you?
And what if your wife of fifty years died, and you're still sad a year later...or five years...ten? At what point do you have a disorder?
How do we determine when it's a disorder and when it's the only rational response to whatever befalls a person?
I ask because practitioners of medical science employ the term, not philosophers; so it must be a real phenomenon with a set of objective, measurable characteristics...

Researchers presented the participants with a variety of adverse life events and asked them to estimate their likelihood of experiencing these events in their lifetime. Then, participants received factual information about how likely these events are to occur in the general population.

Adverse life events, hmm.
Were they asked how many "adverse life events" they'd already experienced, and with what effects? Were points added or subtracted according to how far they differed from the "general population?"
Your schlemiel might be cheered up by statistics but your schlimazel will go with pattern recognition every time, and maybe there's a reason for that.

Oh, well then! Don't bogart that ketamine, pass it over! It'll ease depression in four -- did you say four hours?? There are competing substances that can ease one's "mood disorder" in four minutes.

Believe it or not, there are ketamine clinics out there that you can get a “doctor” to prescribe you permission to get K-Holed on ketamine.
