September 6, 2023

"A study by American Medical Association, published late last month, sought to measure the “efficacy and safety of psilocybin in patients with major depressive disorder and to evaluate the magnitudetiming, and durability of antidepressant effects and safety of a single dose of psilocybin in patients with major depressive disorder.


Researchers conducted a “a randomizedplacebo-controlled, 6-week trial in 104 adults, a 25-mg dose of psilocybin administered with psychological support,” ultimately determining that the psilocybin treatment “was associated with rapid and sustained antidepressant effect, measured as change in depressive symptom scores, compared with active placebo,” and that no “serious treatment-emergent adverse events occurred.”
