Abstract
Off-label ketamine treatment has shown acute antidepressant effects that offer hope for patients with therapy-resistant depression. However, its potential for integration into treatment algorithms is controversial, not least because the evidence base
for maintenance treatment with repeated ketamine administration is currently weak. Ketamine is also a drug of misuse, which
has raised concerns regarding the target population. Little is known about which patients would seek ketamine treatment if it
were more widely available.
