Abstract in brief
The study found that a single dose of ayahuasca produced rapid and significant antidepressant effects in patients with treatment-resistant depression, with noticeable improvements as early as 1 and 2 days after dosing, and even higher effects after 7 days.
Compared to a placebo, the group receiving ayahuasca showed much lower depression scores and higher response rates, indicating that ayahuasca could be a promising fast-acting treatment for resistant depression.
This is one of the first controlled trials to demonstrate the antidepressant potential of a psychedelic like ayahuasca, supporting its safety and possible therapeutic benefits when used appropriately.]
Also, in a group of treatment-resistant folks who have a median time of 11 YEARS for which they suffered from depression, can we please stop funding and publishing trials with 7 DAYS follow-up? How is this still a thing?

Este estudio de ayahuasca en depresión solo deja 2 conclusiones:
1) Todos los que toman ayahuasca se dan cuenta
2) La ayahuasca no se tolera muy bien
