Magic Medicine: When Magic Mushrooms Cure Depression

Can magic mushrooms cure depression? Over two years, we follow the first ever medical trial of psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms) being used to treat a group of volunteers suffering from clinical depression.
With deeply moving footage of the ‘trips’ the patients go on, as well as interviews providing scientific and political context, this intimate film is an absorbing portrait of the human cost of depression, and the inspirational people contributing to ground-breaking psychedelic research.

Psilocybin mushrooms have definitely had a positive impact on my mental health. They've been really helpful for me in dealing with anxiety and depression.

[@declanh5434]

I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source.

I had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great.

[@unknownpartsunknown]

I lived in a hell my whole life. Since a child I hated my existence. I had a mental breakdown in my teens. I treated this with alcohol for 35 years until the addiction tore me apart. I am sober now for three years, but that left an open wound that I would have to face. I always thought if I could beat my addiction I would be happy. Little did I know the nightmare was just beginning. A year and a half I was a zombie. I was lost in my own mind. I couldn't explain to anyone what I was going through. I was in a fire that wouldn't stop. Upon repairing the relationship with my son, he introduced me to magic mushroom therapy. My first trip this being whom I trusted took me on a beautiful journey. It was like an angel talking to me. I felt real love for me. I was weightless in love. I seen a beautiful place and was shown that I'm part of it. I'm a different person now. No more pain the fire has stopped.

Mushrooms do cure depression. However, there is an important take away that is overlooked.. That is, to make sure that whenever you are medicated, it's important to write down or record any insights or downloads you receive so that when you return to a "sober" state, you then apply them to your daily life. That's the other half of the lesson. Like any tool, it serves a function. No different from hanging posters on a wall after using hammers to insert nails for said purpose.

[@Astroteolog]

this is so crucial to the days we find ourselves in , all the stress from war , poverty , and angst to be "someone" shrooms let you know that you are loved no matter what shape and form you come in ...and teach what you COULD BE !!! 🙏

When she said it's weird to have John here because he has been gone for so long... She didn't want to trust it in case he went away again. ... How powerful, profound, and positive the benefits of magic mushrooms are! Society is very sick right now... This brilliant documentary has shown how humanity may make progress. Give up the Digital Age and get back to Gaia. Only then will you truly be free.

[@jimbim4405]

As someone who has taken mushrooms a few times before, I can say that without the direction of those shrinks, they wouldn't have been able to focus on their memories. My own experiences have been helter-skelter voyages through time, space and colour, and I most certainly did not get me into any form of psycho state of analysis. What strikes me, however, is the realisation (or theory) that being clinically depressed is more of a psychiatric issue that a physiological one. if you need to send someone back to their childhood in order to resolve an issue, then that is the job of a shrink to help you with it, rather than a clinician to "fix" something.

[@fingerprint5511]

Shrinks are drugged up themselves and use patients to work THEIR stuff out on and people pay them for it! There is no such state that is permanent that is is dependent on something else to arise. There is nothing to fix, only understand and accept and with everyone believing 'they' deserve more, bigger, better, 'is this all there is I must get more/better' then ....

[@JaredHeffernan]

I have never really tried magic mushroom before. Similar to Dmt??. How do people feel on them anyone?

[@Benpugh78]

Make no mistake: psilocybin has a number of potential medical benefits.

Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychedelic and behavioral disorder.

[@samjayyyy2698]

I feel like they would benefit from micro dosing in between sessions

[@DLITINTHEHOUSE]

My guess would be that because this is an actual funded medical treatment initiative they will have to eventually get to that point. It’s a process, if that makes sense. I’m only about halfway in so maybe they’ll get to it.

[@fisherstrong6]

Mushrooms can also cause depression. If anyone deals with brain, chemistry issues of any sorts such as ADD, bipolar, etc. mushrooms can be a great benefit or they can send you into a manic depressive state. I tried to warn my buddy, who is obsessed with the psychedelic movement about the mood swings that could come with micro-dosing and they had to find out the hard way.

[@BushyHairedStranger]

A pets death can cause depression. A relationship ending also causes depression. Losing your wallet can cause depression. List reason here_________________________________

[@anderslarsen4912]

I have not tried mushrooms. But from the look of it, it seems similar to ayahuasca which can be pretty powerful.

[@SuraDoes]

Did they get psychotherapy after the psychedelic treatment? Your brain is more open to change. The guys who felt depressed again needed reinforcements to make sure they didn’t revert back to their negative thinking.

[@teebosaurusyou2-un2nz]

They need to be studying LSD again, just like the huge research done in the 60's.

[@Mesa369]

Is 25mg really 2.5g? Isn’t the conversion wrong? 25mg is 0.025g.

[@MrHoban]

The pills they are taking are pure psilocybin. As compared to the weight of a dried mushroom. The weight of a dried mushroom is not all psilocybin. So it’s more accurate to say 2.5g of dried mushrooms is the equivalent of 25mg of the psilocybin pills they are taking.

[@nobodyspecialfromkentucky]

I appreciate your prospective. I love Jesus . I know so many people that think like you . Just believe and pray and God will “poof” take your depression away . Nope . I don’t believe he works that way . He uses other people and natural resources like psilocybin . Big Pharma and most of the government that makes money from pills don’t want you to know that God created a fungi to help you through depression. Shalom

They don't "cure" depression. The depression goes away for a while, sometimes a month or so and then you get depressed again and you have to do it again.

[@tvav69]

A cure is forever. This is a maintenance plan when you have to keep taking them. But, I’d rather take shrooms than antidepressants. They suck.

[@foofighter1790]

Way better than taking all kinds of depression pills

[@BushyHairedStranger]

The difference with Psychedelics is efficacy & safety. Tryptamines are vastly safer than SSRI prescriptions used for depression. Legacy Psychedelics do not create acute withdrawal syndrome and there is no known LD-50… you can eat 30-40 grams of psilocybin and you wont die. You may think you’ve died and thats the entire point, to change your perspective on how you interface with your fears.

[@jamesdailey2476]

I’ve had that happen, with mushrooms 🍄 ayahuasca. I was healed from extreme anxiety for 7 months but my problems always come back. I’ve meet someone that it did fix it long term but it’s not common.

It can show you yourself and who you are, but cure depression is silly. You have to be comfortable in yourself to not be depressed. I'd say that getting the bald guy hair would do more to cure depression than a mushroom trip.

[@user-cm6kv8vx9f]

So people who have depression only have it because they are not comfortable in themselves? Thanks, I'm cured.

[@fingerprint5511]

What no one tells you is Kundalini awakening is a spiritual power and if you have not cultivated a spiritual life previously and are suddenly awakened by an outside force - plant chemicals, you will suffer because you are not pure in heart in order to use these powers so to not cause harm to self or others. Corruption, the darkness was born this way, and stupid kids seeking pleasure and an easy life flock to this and are damned forever afterwards. Again ,.,, no Spiritual cultivation beforehand = HELL. If you do not understand there is no abiding self, no soul, no 'person' who is sick or happy or anything you dream up, you will go to these plants in 100% ignorance. Do the work first, see the truth, after that seek the plants, then you'll be worthy of their gifts.
