More recent than this article have been failed clinical trials of psychedelics. Turns out forcing people chemically into a hallucinatory state isn’t that effective. To the point of this older article it seems that existing therapies are probably not the effective either. So the search should be for therapies that surpass existing ones.

It's pretty bizarre the state that modern pharmaceutical psychiatry has reached. We literally have an FDA approved regimin of snorting ketamine to treat depression here in the US now (Spravato). Those ads are beyond dystopian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmhuerarE7I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmhuerarE7I

  Ad aside, what's wrong with that? Ketamine is proving to be extremely effective at treating depression

> forcing people chemically into a hallucinatory state can you show evidence of any people being forced to do anything at all ?

  You misunderstand. The body does not naturally hallucinate. To get it to do so requires overriding (forcing) the normal functions against their usual behavior with chemicals.
