This naturalistic follow-up of a Phase IIb randomised active placebo-controlled trial (n=144) found that one or two 25 mg doses of psilocybin with psychotherapy were linked to sustained reductions in depression symptoms in treatment-resistant major depression (TRD) at six and twelve months. Benefits were similar across groups, while restarting antidepressant medication during follow-up was associated with worse scores.
