Mushroom Drug Treats Severe Depression

MAGICAL HEALINGS –

Nov. 2, 2022 – Most had been severely depressed for more than a year and were aged around 40, the researchers, from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, said.

After one 25mg dose of Comp360 psilocybin, alongside psychotherapy:

one in three were no longer diagnosed as depressed at three weeks

one in five saw a significant improvement at 12 weeks 

Study author and consultant psychiatrist Dr James Rucker said the drug was thought to have “a direct action on the brain, putting it into a more flexible state and providing an window of opportunity for therapy”.
