Reforming Psychiatric Care with the Club Drug "Special K"

Imagine instantly being able to no longer feel depressed. Going through an episode? If you are prescribed Special K you may miraculously and immediately feel better, according to this National Public Radio report.

Before we thought that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance, but the reality is that we really don't know.

The fact is that people react differently to different drugs. So much is still unknown about the causes that it is frustrating. I feel that people refuse to dig into these issues unless it is profitable to good old pharma.

I'm not hating the playa, just hating the game.
