About The Study: In trials of depression, psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) was not more effective than open-label traditional antidepressants (TADs). Blinding made a difference for TADs, but not for PAT, confirming that PAT trials are effectively always open label. These results argue against highly optimistic narratives surrounding PAT and highlight the importance of blinding integrity.
