Oh, I need one. Right now I’m in 6 weeks after move to USA, being interviewed a lot with major companies for high-rank positions in a non-native language, that’s much harder too. So I have a really strong emotional pressure and that cure would help people like me and other ones to bear such processes easier and much more calm. There won’t be such statistics as we have now, like, half of families divorce after immigration. If people could recover from stressful situation much faster – they won’t get in such hard situations in future, will preserve families and eventually will move world forward quicker, because immigrants would feel more comfortable in “hostile” unknown environment and will naturalize very efficiently and quick.
If the question is about do I need such pills in my world – my answer is only Yes. There is no other ethic point of view for me.

When people become aware of the hazards of current medicines, whats the solution? Create new drugs that no ones ever heard of. LOL. There is no magic cure for anything, its all hard work and people. Exercise, diet, being in the real world, making real friends instead of stupid virtual ones, are easily the best ways to enhance quality of life.

You are not going to prevent traumatic situations and there is no way to know when it will happen except in willingly marching to war.
On another note this is a good idea for soldiers bit needs to be paired with rehabilitation therapy and reintegration therapy.

Instead of another “drug”, why not just pursue an all-meat diet – or water fasting (don’t forget the salt). It’s worked for many.

If yes, Why did she say it was ‘a new class of drugs’ K is an Arylcyclohexylamine which is not new. ?

All the drugs have a side effect so we’ll just see. Moreover, in order to be immune to them will take us generations.

This is a sales pitch more than a scientific presentation. What does the graph @ 2:22 onward represents? what is sec/min? what is being measured? Not one hint on how this works. It looks to me like a presentation for collecting funds and investment.
You torture a small innocent mouse for three weeks be injecting the poor thing with stress hormones while you enjoy your day and get a good night sleep, and then come to brag about it! have you any conscious at all?

Tylenol is one of the few drugs that were commonly given to pregnant women. Come to find out Tylenol decreases empathy and testosterone. Big Pharma are thieves, cheats and scum psychopaths. Don’t forget that when you take their drugs. They really are not to be trusted.

Its not “exactly” Ketamin, but substance-class.
And it works in intention by mikrodose-application. And it doeas not make “happy”, but uncritical against ambient conditions, so that the subject does not identify himself with reality around him.
Thats, what in other context (Drug-abuse) meaned, when said, that they become careless, halfhearted, indifferent, insensible, superficial …etc
It should therefore be explained why, in view of this objective (stressor prevention, prevention of stress effects), all the earlier views on drug use and its consequences should now be acceptable side effects, where they were previously always cited as the main drawbacks.
What happens with this medication is in fact the opposite of what one used to demand of all people: to be aware of oneself and one’s environment and one’s own actions, to be responsible and attentive, to be “on the ball”, and to “think the situation through”.
In the thesis of stress prevention with this substance class, however, exactly the opposite is produced.
But if one assumes that man, because he is a small wheel in the wheels of life and in the universe, should not take the whole thing around him so seriously, then exactly this is the right strategy: governmental/structurally legalized will-less making through creeping ketamine intoxication.
Does anyone remember the film “Equilibrium”?

I completely disagree. The only solution to depression is to realize that your emotional state is 100% your making. Either take the reigns conciously or let outside forces control you, it takes focus, but it is a choice. I was suicidally depressed for years and undergone doctors treatment as well as my own.. trust me, there are NO kind of drugs that are a permanent solution.

I bet this new drug also cures cancer AND solves the worlds hunger too. And it can make you live 100 years longer if you buy it on a daily basis, i have heard. Its a wonder elixir.

Yes definately, I think in the long run both enhance each other. So the effectiveness of either one improves as each of the two options are done

So the root cause is complicated, cause as much as I wanted to change my internal feelings/thoughts, my diet/medicine had to be changed for even to start taking effects.

Many professions increase risk of depression & PTSD (military, medical, etc), most treatments simply suppress symptoms. A new class of drug called a resilience enhancer reduces side-affects to stressors. #TedTalk
