Granted, but is it more or less risky for a person to remain severely depressed, if regular medications don't work?
- aidenn0 5y agoPeople recovering from a major depressive episode are at a very high risk of suicide. People who are currently depressed are usually insufficiently motivated to kill themselves. If we think ketamine therapy will soon be covered by insurance it may be lower risk to wait.
