Background: Health services have advocated a stratified medicine approach in mental health, but little is known about whether service users would accept this approach.
Aims: To explore service users' views of the acceptability of stratified medicine for treatment-resistant schizophrenia compared to the traditional "trial-and-error" approach.

Background: Ketamine is a new and promising treatment for depression but comes with challenges to implement because of its potential for abuse.
Aims: We sought the views of patients to inform policy and practical decisions about the clinical use of ketamine before large-scale roll-out is considered.
Method: This qualitative study used three focus groups and three validation sessions from 14 patients with prior diagnoses of depression but no experience of ketamine treatment.
