The FDA will not give psilocybin the green light as a medicine in 2026.

Before any approval, the FDA wants stronger, cleaner evidence that the treatment actually works.
Functional-unblinding and durability concerns remain unresolved. My job is patient protection, not hype response. Broad-indication efficacy signals raise placebo-expectancy flags I must rule out.
