Ketamine has been a breakthrough in psychiatry, it produces fast and dramatic improvements in a myriad of mental health conditions, including major depression, anxiety disorders, ocd and bpd likely as well. 

The downside is that those dramatic effects wean off in a matter of one to several weaks. Why is that so?
