Psilocybin and Depression

Psilocybin therapy, combined with supportive psychotherapy, shows remarkable efficacy in alleviating major depression, producing effects significantly greater than traditional treatments. The research highlights the potential for psilocybin to induce neuroplastic changes in the brain, fostering enhanced connectivity and emotional relief that can persist long after the sessions. Caution is advised regarding the management of antidepressant medications during treatment, emphasizing the importance of professional guidance.
