During the Blitz of World War II, Londoners faced the terror of nightly bombardment that left 43,000 dead and millions homeless. The N***s expected to destroy morale and force surrender, yet the British chose to fight on and among the people there was a surprising absence of crime and su***de. Not only did the expected panic and despair never materialise, but the people appeared to rise to a new level of unity and resilience. Very little of which has graced this pandemic.

Ketamine was once used mainly as an anaesthetic on battlefields and for horses. Later it became a party drug, the notorious ‘Special K’.

Now it’s being used for depression and even to prevent su***de. Drugs have taken on new roles before, but ketamine’s career change is one of the most surprising.

What human experience is the most potent trigger for post-traumatic stress disorder?

Ask 100 people this question, even doctors and psychiatrists, and you would receive a list of various traumatic experiences: car crashes, house fires, sexual assaults, shootings, stabbings, kidnappings, earthquakes and so on. The experiences would be varied but the essential theme the same: the future PTSD patient is the victim of some horrible, life-threatening event.

Is there a mainstream role for the drugs of the counterculture?

Psilocybin (the active element of magic mushrooms) and L*D (also known as acid) were research darlings in the 1950s with hopes that they could cure depression, drug addiction and even the fear of mortality. But by 1970, both were banned in the United States as drugs with high potential for abuse and no medical role.

One of the paradoxes of the modern age is plummeting global poverty matched almost perfectly with rising clinical depression.
