A drug based on a compound in hallucinogenic mushrooms can improve the symptoms of severe depression for up to 12 weeks, a trial has shown.

A 25mg tablet of psilocybin puts patients in a dreamlike state and makes psychological therapy more likely to succeed.

But the short-term side-effects could be frightening and support must always be on hand, the researchers said.

Experts added larger studies with a much longer follow-up are still needed.

Psilocybin flipped the off switch on my social anxiety like a light switch. It's effect lasted long enough that I thought it permanent. My anxiety and doubts and lack of self worth was gone. Anything that can make you love yourself should be legal.

Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.

Psilocybin mushrooms.
Best shrooms I’ve ever had! Had some amazing trips when I first started taking them. Now I micro dose every few days before work and it has literally changed my life completely for the better.

After Iraq, i went through bad depressions and a suicide attempt, i got introduced to thc and it was like a band aid. After finding mushrooms, my depression and anxiety has dropped a whole lot, every time i micro dose, i feel like a big heavy burden is lifted and have a happier out look in life, mushrooms defenetly help more than medical marijuana.

Years and years of being treated with every medication out there and all of them making my symptoms even worse sometimes leading to hospitalization, this gives me hope!

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

I went to The Netherlands to a legal Psilocybin Retreat. It was a life-changing experience!
I hope psilocybin will be available in the UK in the future!

Tripping is definitely an eye opening experience. This is great and I hope it can be legalized.
