It is "up to two years", naturally, as mentioned in the article. I do agree two years is a span that is most likely rarely achieved, but I also remember that a single dose can basically cure* people of PTSD, so I do believe some people might be free of depression for 24 months if they processed their trauma / issues in a significant manner.

Please remember, studies that use psychedelics don't simply hand psychoactive substances to people and send them away, they do receive assistance (e. g. therapy) to process whatever issue they might have.

again, along with therapy

Gonna go out on a limb here and say you seem like you deal with pretty severe depression yourself, seeing as how you come off as a miserable prick. You might benefit from a good heroic dose of mushrooms.

I think it's more an example that we're all still different. I've taken a bunch of psychedelics, I got the messages about what I should do with my life, I havent been able to action those things which is frustrating. It leaves me in a spot where I'm not interested in psychedelics at the moment because at this point the messages are kind of spam.
