Scientists have shared a new study that claims magic mushrooms help treat mental disorders like negative thoughts. The experiment consisted in prescribing a treatment with psilocybin to a group of 60 participants prone to projects of depression facing another group of 60 people who would have been prescribed a classic antidepressant. We then observe a change in the brain circuits (locked in a negative thought pattern) in the first group that consumed the mushrooms.
David Nutt – director of Imperial Center for Psychotropic Drug Research – Explain : ” The mood improves in the hours following the trip. Moreover, the increase in brain connectivity and improvement in depression was not observed only during the treatment period because for many patients the changes were still present up to three weeks later. Administered the day after the trip, talk therapy (or “integration sessions”) made it possible to understand the effects and to take advantage of the lesser rigidity of brain activity to “consolidate new ways of thinking ».
We see more and more people touting the merits of micro-dosing hallucinogenic mushrooms, which are said to have benefits for positive thinking, performance enhancement, emotional balance, and physical endurance. It would above all be a question of respecting the protocols and therefore of respecting the doses indicated so as not to cause the opposite effect, that is to say, anxiety.
Netflix has also devoted a documentary to the subject, by the name of Funtastic Fungi.
