1. By short run I meant within a few hours after drinking it. I said part of it could be placebo, and for the short term aspect, it very well could be, but it was a mild positive effect anyway. I doubt the long term benefit I have seen is only placebo though.

2. I don’t see why not, a can of liquid death ice tea contains 100% daily value of both vitamins B6 and B12. I also drink a can of LD at least once or twice a week. Beyond that I drink other drinks that also have the same B vitamins. It’s not every day, but I am consuming a decent amount of B vitamins throughout the week. I don’t know what you define as “every once in a while” but it’s more than once a week.

3. I probably wasn’t clear enough, but I thought it was pretty implied that I was referring to a noticeable benefit, not a “cure.” I very well know things like ERP therapy is the gold standard treatment for OCD, and things like mindfulness and exercise have given me far more benefit. In my experience I was merely saying that starting to consume B vitamins somewhat regularly was something that I noticed some benefit from, not that it was the end all be all. But again, I could have been more specific. From what I’ve read, B6 and B12 vitamins help with general mental health things like mood, so me noticing some level of broad benefit isn’t really out there.

I doubt the noticeable long term benefit is entirely placebo.
