November 15, 2021Psilocybin vs escitalopram for depression, recent trial findings
A recent study Prof David Nutt was involved in pitted psilocybin against escitalopram in a cleverly designed equipoise randomised controlled trial
Results showed very rapid improvement (days rather than weeks) of depression symptoms and significantly better scores in wellbeing and depression in patients given psilocybin
Whilst it is clear more studies are needed, there is growing interest in the use of psychedelic agents in the treatment of depression amongst younger and trainee psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and the general public
As GPs, we should be aware of developments in this area

Advise your patient to ask for a device with a long expiry date
Check the patient's technique when you prescribe replacement devices and update the action plan
