I assumed they helped with depression because of their effects on episodic memory by causing interference in the feed back loop of those matters you dwell on the most and sufficiently rewriting those spaces so the loop is broken.

One of the powerful mental enhancing effect of psychadelics is the ability to adjust to new information, to recognize errors in perception and to pivot from the faulty perception, to adjust your mind.
This is why it's so effective at alleviating depression....a categorical mental error.
It also is stimulates an open mind. This is why so many shitlords can be found amongst the dancing hippies. Their minds are freeer than others to reject the narrative and adopt alternative viewpoints.
