just goes to show the sort of shit research going on over the years.
cures depression in 7 days. of course it does!
just like those people who are suffer grief/bereavement from a family members death, but find themsleves prescribed anti-depressants and 20 years later and are still taking them.
Add some CBT to that and we can cure the entire world of all mental illness in 24 hours.
Incredibly, after 20 years, they have not released a new anti-depressant containing magnesium
Though to be fair, fast forward 18 years and research in 2024 suggested that taking magnesium supplements with an antidepressant may help with the symptoms of depression.
I take magnesium for restless leg syndrome, just a tiny pinch in my nightly hot cacao chocolate.
Grief and depression are distinctly different things.
There's obviously been many missteps on the road to "curing" depression but I think we're moving forward and it's nice to have options.
I went on anti-depressants after my brother died and they helped a lot, and I was able to stop them when no longer needed. In my decades of having medical care, I've never had a doctor push any medications on to me other than strongly recommend in certain conditions (statins, as the accumulated evidence indicates it's worth a go).
Ketamine has been very helpful as well but that is unfortunately unnecessarily spendy. I've don't plenty of recreational chemical adventures and I fail to see the appeal of it in that regard.

Psychiatry borders pseudo-science afterall. And there's the more general replication crisis (with psychology at the focus) fuelled by the fact that positive results are more publishable and that publishing negative replications is hard (those affecting entirety of science).
a huge claim from a 2006 paper.
