Not just that it's important to remember that many studies have questioned whether antidepressants are at all better than placebo for the treatment of depression in the first place. [1] Some say no, some say yes statistically significant but not meaningful clinically. [2]

The reality is psychedelics may be the only meaningful medical treatment we actually have for depression.

It's great to see psychedelics being considered more and more for tackling mental health conditions, but I'd still like to see the discussion extended to include:

a) Other ways of achieving peak experiences and senses of connectedness, wonder and awe, be that mindfulness/meditation, being out in nature, flow states, breathwork etc. which are more often accessible to everyone, for free and without needing to involve big pharma and may have less side effects, supported where necessary with the same complimentary (talking) therapies that run alongside the psychedelics.

b) Challenging some of the potential underlying causes, I'm not suggesting this will apply in all cases, but stress/burn-out, financial pressures, lack of meaning, lack of connectedness, pressure from social media, inequality etc.
