Trial of Psilocybin versus Escitalopram for Depression

Robin Carhart-Harris et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of psilocybin and escitalopram in treating patients with major depressive disorder. While there was no significant difference in antidepressant effects between the two drugs at week 6, secondary outcomes generally favored psilocybin over escitalopram, though these results were not adjusted for multiple comparisons. Larger and longer trials are needed to further compare psilocybin with established antidepressants.

Naturalistic Use of Mescaline Is Associated with Self-Reported Psychiatric Improvements and Enduring Positive Life Changes

Gabrielle Agin-Liebes et al.

Summary: Mescaline, a naturally occurring psychoactive alkaloid, has shown potential for mental health benefits with users reporting improvements in conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, AUD, and DUD. Those with acute psychological insights during mescaline experiences were more likely to report improvements in mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, AUD, and DUD. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and investigate mescaline's efficacy for psychiatric treatment in controlled clinical trials.

The Subjective Effects of Psychedelics May Not Be Necessary for Their Enduring Therapeutic Effects

David E. Olson

Summary: Psychedelics have shown promise for treating neuropsychiatric disorders due to their ability to promote neural plasticity and produce rapid and sustained therapeutic effects, but evidence suggests that the subjective effects induced by these drugs may not be necessary for long-lasting changes in mood and behavior. Understanding the role of subjective effects in the therapeutic mechanisms of psychedelics will have important implications for basic neuroscience and patient access to future medicines developed from psychedelic research.
