I don't want to be patronized about the number of depression studies I have or have not read. Can you answer yes or no: does figure 3 support the study's conclusion?

Setting aside the psychedlic aspect, do you think figure 3 supports the study's conclusion?

Agreed. If I saw an SSRI with those curves I would doubt the efficacy of it. But this might be why I am not in charge of clinical trials. Just a layman taking pot shots.

Sure - but I don't see the authors mention group convergence anywhere.

While the first 5 week post treatment actually looks impressive, I don't think the treatment arms being essentially the same after 6 months supports the conclusions of the study. Unless we backpedal and say the inactive grouo was microdosing (which has its own baggage...)

Figure 3 is suspicious. Even the placebo arm has much better scores for depression and anxiety from baseline?
