“Probably great for PTSD but it did nothing really for me. I mean great experience but against depressive or anxiety symptoms it doesn't do shit long-term.”
“I don't feel I ever fully recovered and that's been over 20 years now. I can still remember the lows afterwards like yesterday.”
“I took my 200mg dose and felt absolutely nothing. The only thing I got out of it was the inability to sleep, and urinate.”

Conclusion: Of the available psychedelic treatments for depressive symptoms, patients treated with high dose psilocybin showed better responses than those treated with placebo in the antidepressant trials, but the effect size was small.
