Earlier participation in this study
Psychosis (as a primary diagnosis) (depression with psychotic features will not be an exclusion criterion per se).
Schizophrenia or another primary psychotic disorder
History of PCP- or ketamine addiction
Being under influence of GHB (Substance abuse in the (recent) history is not an exclusion criterion per se (with the exception of current GHB-intoxication and a high blood alcohol concentration, and intoxications leading to medical unstable conditions). Use of GHB will be assessed by asking the participant, since urinary analysis is relatively unreliable, and waiting for results of the blood test will, given the acute nature of this study, be too time consuming.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of > 0.05%
Clinically significant and unstable infectious, immunological, neurological cardiovascular, gastro-intestinal, pulmonary, renal, ophthalmological (glaucoma), hepatic, endocrine or haematological disorder, a myocardial infarction, micturition problems or a complex surgical problem that needs immediate attention.
