These experiments need a control where they just take the drug and they don't have medical staff around.
It seems like every few weeks there's an article on how drugs are amazing hitting the front-page.
I'd argue that the results might not be from the drugs but from the fact that they were heavily monitored by other humans.

I’d be afraid of a treatment like this where you’re sort of different after one treatment. From experience taking ssris, I took one one that worked so well that I had to stop taking it because it removed stress to the extent that I wouldn’t get to class on time or get my homework done before deadlines.

I might have gotten that desperate myself, but I finally found a great physiatrist that gave a shit and was competent. Simply taking Effexor removed my panic attacks without problematic side effects.
