One psychedelic trip keeps depression at bay for two years

One psychedelic trip can keep depression at bay for up to two years.

A single dose of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound in mushrooms, can reduce depression and anxiety, a new study has discovered.

Researchers from Sunstone Therapies, which produces psychedelic-based therapies, gave one 25mg dose of psilocybin to a group of 28 cancer patients, who were also suffering from depression.

In a review carried out two years later, 15 (53.6%) patients demonstrated a significant reduction in depression, and 14 (50%) had reduced depression and a full remission from depressive symptoms. Psilocybin reduced anxiety for 12 (42.9%) patients.
