Magic mushrooms have been touted as a 'cure' for depression, but do they really work?
Probably not
New blog on psychedelics and mental health ping @CaulfieldTim @TheSciBabe @picardonhealthhttps://medium.com/@gidmk/magic-mushrooms-cant-cure-depression-fa7d90795a0 …
The between group differences were not significant at any point - regardless of what the authors said, the results were null based on the numbers
Perhaps an acid test of whether people read studies or just skim the abstract

haha guilty as charged! Now I have to go and read the full article, as I'm curious...

While we're here...it's interesting that the "high dose" is 22 or 30mg/70kg. Anecdotally, in South Africa, the underground "journeying" community uses a standard dose of 5 grams (no matter body weight). Not endorsing that, and I'm pretty sure ethics clearance would be tough...

As I've written in the twt below & also in the comments on the blog and in an email to you - this doesn't seem to be right. The study found highly significant BG differences in its 2 primary outcomes, and 9 others, at 5 weeks. Pls could you address. Thx.https://mobile.twitter.com/francis_haddock/status/1339876636662124549 …
