Considering that the vast majority of medications for depression are taken daily, I'd say ketamine actually has remarkably long lasting effectiveness.

It's not when you have better longer lasting options like psilocybin therapy that can see patient symptoms go into remission for a year or even longer. It can treat root causes of mental illnesses leading to better outcomes and you don't have patients being dependent on many ketamine infusions per year. Don't get me wrong it's great they're finally trying different things besides antidepressants but I see psilocybin as much more efficacious comparatively.
