Ketamine depression treatment 'should be rolled out' Doctors trialling the use of ketamine to treat depression are calling for the treatment to be rolled out.
Ketamine is licensed to be used as an anaesthetic but has a reputation as an illegal party drug.
Writing in The Lancet Psychiatry, Dr Rupert McShane, who has led a trial in Oxford, since 2011 says ketamine can work on patients with depression "where nothing has helped before".
However, he is calling for a national registry to monitor its use. BBC News
