>Same anecdotal people who claims psychedelics cured them of depression while they were not diagnosed, and there is no proof it cured them.

and what would the proof be for ssris "curing" anyone? they way that they measure efficacy is likely surveying patients, which isn't any difference in essence. claiming their experience wasn't valid because of a diagnosis is not very meaningful either. it's very trivial to be formally diagnosed with depression

>I'm suspecting there is a lobby of people targeting gullible patients who have mental health problem and sell them whatever. It's an insult to me.

as opposed to the multibillion dollar ssri industry? the same one where corporations are allowed to provide doctors with kickbacks to prescribe their medications? this is beyond ridiculous

before you jump to the conclusion i am someone that advocates psychedelics at all -- i dont. your post is just very naive. the article itself doesn't mention even mention psychedelics
