Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, might just revolutionize how depression and anxiety are treated in cancer patients. In a groundbreaking trial, a single dose combined with therapy significantly reduced emotional suffering, and these effects often lasted over two years. As follow-up studies expand the research to multiple doses and larger samples, scientists are eyeing a possible new standard of care that merges psychedelics with psychological support.
I think it’s more an example that we’re all still different. I’ve taken a bunch of psychedelics, I got the messages about what I should do with my life, I havent been able to action those things which is frustrating. It leaves me in a spot where I’m not interested in psychedelics at the moment because at this point the messages are kind of spam.
