Psychedelic drug could be 'magic' bullet for depression: Study
A new antidepressant being tested in Canada appears to do what no other drug can — increase connections between brain cells within hours to swiftly improve symptoms.
The finding by Yale University researchers may explain how one dose of ketamine can reduce symptoms of depression within 40 minutes among the hardest-to-treat cases, and could help spur development of quick-acting antidepressants.
About 17 per cent of the Canadian population will experience major depression at some point in their lives.
