Dennis Hartman had planned his suicide at age 46 but was saved when he was accepted to a clinical trial at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda. He became an advocate for the use of ketamine infusions and started the [Ketamine Advocacy Network](http://www.ketamineadvocacynetwork.org/).
