Ketamine is still not yet received approval for treating depression though few studies has shown its effect in severe depression with suicidal thoughts. Also it's effect last for less than a week after one injection. So over all it is not suitable for your condition which is running since long time. Along with medication you should opt for psychotherapy which will help you in long run
