Terribly misleading link-bait headline. The authors were specifically trying to determine whether the hallucinogenic effects are related to the antidepressant effects, so they blunted the hallucinogenic effects by applying ketamine while under general anesthesia. They found that in that case, there was no effect on depression. So the study showed that the hallucinations are a key part of the depression treatment, not that ketamine is no better than placebo. But now I’m sure that this will be cited by people in shitposts based on the title. Science should know better.
Isn't it widely known already that these drugs help resolve negative memories? The computer obviously needs to be on in order for the routine to execute..
