A Phase 2B trial of 89 adult patients conducted by Melbourne-based MindBio Therapeutics, investigating the effects of microdosing LSD in the treatment of major depressive disorder, found that the psychedelic was actually outperformed by a placebo. Across an eight-week period, symptoms were gauged using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), a widely recognized tool for the clinical evaluation of depression.
The study has not yet been published. But MindBio’s CEO Justin Hanka recently released the top-line results on his LinkedIn, eager to show that his company was “in front of the curve in microdosing research.”
On LinkedIn. Did they also go on a bizarre rant?
Why would you publish results to a site that nobody can see unless they want all their data mined by microsoft? Fuck LinkedIn.
What about a pot of coffee with a sheet of LSD mixed into it? Surely the therapeutic effects must work wonders
A cup of LSD and depression is not a problem anymore.
Stimulants in proper doses seem to be able to help with depression. Some studies show adderall can help depression too.
Microdosing *what? Stupid headline making me click to see the comments.
Why not both?
