That’s just not true, taking it for a month daily will not work. I haven’t looked at studies recently but the few psychiatrists I know, none believe you can take a bento for a month daily with it still being effective. Same with people taking it. Placebo can be a powerful thing.

That contention does not match my understanding, but I would love to read more if you have some published studies to point to.
Taking the claim at face value: if the effect at one month is entirely placebo, isn't that still useful for treatment?
(You're not trying to claim that the entire effect on day 1 is placebo, right? I think that's pretty clearly false.)
