Psilocybin helps depressed patients ‘re-connect’ to the world
“The reset switch had been pressed so everything could run properly,
thoughts could run more freely, all these networks could work again. It
unlocked certain parts which were restricted before,” one participant
explained.
“I got a wider perspective, I stepped back. It helped
me appreciate that the world is a big place that there’s a lot more
going on than just the minor things that were going on in my head,”
another participant told the researchers.
A third remarked: “My
previous treatments, talking therapy and meds, were next to useless,
utterly useless. My experience of psilocybin has been very positive. I
believe there is an unknown physiological and neurochemical change in
me, I am absolutely convinced of that.”
