I’ve been hearing a lot lately about strategic use of ketamine with seriously good results, but that’s clearly pharmaceutical. 

Similar positive results are being had with psilocybin (of the magic mushrooms variety) under guided conditions. 

All the energy for depression that’s otherwise resistant to standard treatment, however, appears to be with ketamine according to my various neuroscience feeds. 

The human neurological reference frame (the mind) endures circumstances and these circumstances are what causes the most common depression , namely neurological circumstance depression !  Although pharmaceuticals or ''mild'' drugs can temporary help us forget we are depressed , they will  never be a cure . 

The only way to illiinate neurological circumstance depression is to change the circumstance . However , some circumstances can't be changed ! 

Death of loved ones for example is something that can't be changed .

Sorry , I thought it was a medical term. I guess I invented the term then !

And you also invented that it's the most common form of depression, which is also known as lying, bad-faith arguments, and spreading misinformation. It's against our rules, and most people's ethics.
