The therapy helps avoid a bad trip. Psilocybin functionallycures depression for 8-12 months.
Basically the brain loves patterns. Depression is a repeated pattern of misery. Psilocybin scrambles all patterns temporarily, while metabolizing to a sertonin promoter. You stop being stuck in a rut at the same time you begin feeling positivity for the first time in a while. Good medicine.
I haven't looked at the metabolites of lsd. I think it doesn't behave as a serotonin agonist, so works well for anxiety and ptsd, but not as much for depression.

I've only done acid once but it gave me a much calmer outlook for several months afterwards. I would imagine its a similar process.
