About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial of major depressive disorder, a single dose of psilocybin was associated with rapid antidepressant effects, observed by day 2 and persisting for more than 3 months on secondary outcomes; psilocybin was generally well tolerated, but some individuals required additional support after dosing due to anxiety. These results suggest that psilocybin may provide a rapid and relatively long-lasting antidepressant effect on major depressive disorder, warranting further investigation into repeated dosing or adjunctive treatment strategies.
