They claim to have an 85% success rate compared to around 50-60% for ect.
It just seems remarkable to me. If all the hype is true, it could become the gold standard ten or twenty years down the road.
And yes, bipolar disorder is treatable with ketamine according to their site.

That's definitely interesting. I'll be keeping an eye on that and see how it develops in the future. I don't know if it's available yet where I'm at (Europe). I'm guessing not. In any case I'm not really an early adopter kind of person, I like to watch from the sidelines for a while first. Just like with TMS. ECT to me seems like a more proven technique. I've heard success rates claimed from 50% to 90% for it. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
