Abstract

Fazit Die vorliegende Studie gibt erste Hinweise auf eine Wirksamkeit von Psilocybin bei chronischen Depressionen. Weitere positive Effekte dieser Substanz konnten bereits in anderen Zusammenhängen nachgewiesen werden. Bei nun nachgewiesener, guter Machbarkeit, motivieren die Autoren zu weiteren kontrollierten Studien mit diesem Wirkstoff.
