Oh yeah, I'm in complete agreement there. A brain reset is a good way to phrase it. It's like a clearing away, a decluttering.
Speaking for myself at least, I have no doubt that the experience plays a big role in the lasting antidepressant effects. A good trip (and pretty much all of them are) is intellectually stimulating and emotionally freeing. There's some question about whether other arylcyclohexalamines can have the same antidepressant properties, but of those I've tried, they usually do for me.
Interesting. I don't have enough time/expertise to really be able to answer it, but like I do wonder if some of the antidepressant effect is the subjective experience of the drug in addition to the biological processes that the medical research focuses on.
Ketamine always feels like a hard reset of my brain, and I generally feel way more optimistic about problems after a good trip on it.
