Cohort studies and meta-analyses have documented a robust association between cannabis use, heavy use, and misuse with future risk of schizophrenia.1-3 Despite adjusting for covariates, including current psychotic symptoms, other psychopathology, and social integration,1 the ability of these models to determine the degree to which cannabis causes schizophrenia is limited and dependent on their ability to capture all relevant confounders. When evaluating efforts to reduce cannabis use as a means of preventing schizophrenia, the proportion of this association that is causal is critical.

There is a resurgence, some say renaissance, of clinical research on psychedelic substances after decades of dormancy. Recent studies have produced findings suggesting psychedelics may demonstrate substantial efficacy for serious psychiatric conditions such as mood and substance use disorders. As a result, ongoing clinical trials with the psychedelic psilocybin have been given the Breakthrough Therapy designation by the US Food and Drug Administration that could result in medical approval for major depressive disorder and/or treatment-resistant depression.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlights longstanding health disparities in the United States. African American individuals contract the disease at much higher rates than White individuals and are nearly twice as likely to die of it. Hispanic/Latinx people and American Indian and Alaska Native people are also overrepresented among confirmed cases.1 Structural racism fosters vast inequalities among individuals of color, including economic disadvantage as a result of low-paying jobs, discrimination in education and the workforce, underrepresentation in research,2 and lack of access to adequate health care and healthy foods. These and other associated factors, including the higher prevalence of comorbid conditions, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, contribute to the greater morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 infection in Black, Latinx, and American Indian and Alaska Native populations.

The current paradigm for understanding and treating mental disorders is in crisis. The limited availability of existing treatments is exacerbated by their lack of efficacy for some of the most disabling features of major syndromes, such as impairments in cognitive and functional domains. Despite the promises of genetics and translational neuroscience, causal mechanisms of major syndromes remain to be clearly identified. As a result, development of novel pharmacological therapies has also largely stalled.

In this issue of JAMA Psychiatry, Davis and colleagues1 at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research have contributed a timely and important proof-of-concept randomized clinical trial on the effects of psilocybin-assisted supportive psychotherapy for the treatment of major depression. The authors reported rapid relief of depressive symptoms and high rates of response and remission that were sustained for more than 4 weeks in a sample of 24 midlife adults, many of whom had chronic depression. The research, supported by crowd-sourced funding, was carried out rigorously, with attention to experimental bias through the use of both immediate and delayed treatment conditions, single-blind and self-reported outcome assessments across many domains, and urn randomization to yield comparable groups of participants in both immediate and delayed treatment conditions. In addition to assessing efficacy, the investigators carefully documented potentially adverse (medical and psychological) effects of psilocybin use. Because of this attention to efficacy and tolerability as well as high rates of retention, treatment completion, and follow-up, the data from this trial are clinically informative and have heuristic value for further research.

In this issue of JAMA Psychiatry, Maslej et al1 carried out a meta-analysis of placebo-controlled trials to investigate whether systematic individual differences exist in antidepressant medication (ADM) response. To our knowledge, this is the fifth meta-analysis of the same data set.2-5 All 5 have compared outcome score variances, since larger variance in the treatment group than control group cannot occur in the absence of heterogeneity of treatment effects (HTE). The 5 studies differed in effect size measures. Basing a comparison on a simple variance ratio in the earliest reports led to the conclusion that no meaningful HTE exists.2,3 Correcting for between-group outcome mean differences in a subsequent report4 led to the conclusion that HTE may exist, but that article was retracted based on the finding that evidence for HTE disappears when the association between the outcome mean and variance is estimated rather than assumed to be either 0 (the implicit assumption when making the simple variance comparison) or 1 (the implicit assumption when adjusting for mean differences).5 The Maslej et al report1 updates the data set with more recent trials and again finds a negative result based on this regression-based estimation method.

Importance Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a substantial public health burden, but current treatments have limited effectiveness and adherence. Recent evidence suggests that 1 or 2 administrations of psilocybin with psychological support produces antidepressant effects in patients with cancer and in those with treatment-resistant depression.

Importance Antidepressants are commonly used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). Antidepressant outcomes can vary based on individual differences; however, it is unclear whether specific factors determine this variability or whether it is at random.

Importance Schizophrenia is associated with cognitive dysfunction and cardiovascular risk factors, including metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its constituent criteria. Cognitive dysfunction and cardiovascular risk factors can worsen cognition in the general population and may contribute to cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.

Importance Growing evidence supports an association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood and subsequent psychotic disorders. Both disorders share physiopathological features such as attention deficits, dopaminergic imbalance, and genetic susceptibility. However, the results of epidemiologic studies have been conflicting.

Catatonia has been known for more than 150 years, but it still confuses clinicians.1 Here, we review 3 aspects of psychiatric practice that are crucial for the optimal care of a patient with catatonia: identification, treatment, and prevention. Catatonia, a psychomotor syndrome, reminds us that the mind engages with the world through the body. Being in the world is always a bodily experience. Mental health is the internal equilibrium that assures a harmonious relationship between body and mind.2 Clinicians make inferences about this relationship through conversation and via observation and examination of the body. Whenever a person does not engage with the world, catatonia needs to be considered.

US age-adjusted rates of drug overdose deaths involving methamphetamine increased nearly 5-fold during 2012-2018.1 Although addiction outcomes can be improved with sex-specific and culturally tailored prevention and treatment interventions, the extent to which fatalities differ as functions of sex and race and ethnicity has not been analyzed, to our knowledge.
