Study Notes
Study Design
- Participants returned for follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months following the second psilocybin session
- Depression severity was assessed with participant- and clinician-rated measures
Outcome Measures
- Primary outcome measure: GRID-HAMD (Depression Rating Scale Standardization Team, 2003)
- Secondary outcome measures:
- Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (QIDS) (Rush et al., 2003)
- Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) (Beck et al., 1996)
- Inter-rater reliability at 3-, 6-, and 12-month timepoints was 87.5%
Results
- Significant effect of time in reducing depression severity (F(4.4, 96.3) = 34.9, p < 0.001; η p2 = .61)
- No significant effect of condition (immediate vs delayed treatment) or a time-by-condition interaction
- Mean GRID-HAMD scores decreased from 22.8 (3.9) at pretreatment baseline to 7.7 (7.9) at 12 months post-treatment (p < 0.001)
- Large effect sizes (Cohen d) were observed at all timepoints (range: 2.0-2.6)
Correlations and Predictors
- Ratings of personal meaning, psychological insight, spiritual significance, and mystical experience correlated with well-being and improvement in depression
- Ratings of personal meaning and spiritual significance correlated with improvement in depression at multiple timepoints
- MEQ30 correlated with well-being at all four follow-up timepoints
Safety Outcomes
- No serious adverse events, suicidal ideation, self-injurious behavior, or HPPD were reported
- No participant met criteria for HPPD
