Depression

Postby HONDO74 » Sun Mar 14, 2021 11:54 pm

With all the talk about mental illness in this country, maybe this will work.

Psychedelic therapy could 'reset' depressed brain.

A powerful hallucinogenic drug known for its part in shamanic rituals is being trialled as a potential cure for depression for the first time.

Participants will be given the drug DMT, followed by talking therapy.

It is hoped this could offer an alternative for the significant number of people who don't respond to conventional pills for depression.

Psychedelic-assisted therapy might offer longer-term relief from symptoms, some researchers believe.

A growing body of evidence indicates other psychedelic drugs, particularly alongside talking therapy, are safe and can be effective for treating a range of mental illnesses.

This will be the first time DMT is given to people with moderate to severe depression in a clinical trial.

Conservatism: The intense fear that somewhere, somehow, someone you think is inferior is being treated as your equal.

Sounds like some of the drugs ingested by part of the population (hippies and such) in the late 60's.
