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.

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).
