The current findings suggest an enhancement of systematic screening on depression in ketamine users in Counseling Centres for Psychotropic Substance Abusers and other youth outreach services. Referral mechanism is available in those centres, however, without systematic screening, ketamine users with depressive symptoms may not receive the treatment which is deemed necessary and in turn affects the prognosis of their conditions.
