This sounds really promising, but one thing that worries me is that ketamine is a sort-of painkiller (dissociative anesthetic).
When heroin was first discovered, it was hailed as a wonder-drug, and it was also considered an effective treatment for severe depression. However, after some time, people realized that its addictive properties and high range of potential tolerance make it backfire pretty badly after a certain amount of (ab)use.
Can we be sure that a similar thing won't happen with ketamine?
