Magic mushrooms for depression

Mushrooms or magic mushrooms are increasingly being used to treat depression. Based on our own experience and scientific studies, psilocybin and psilocin from mushrooms and magic truffles work very well against depression. However, there are many other things you could do about depression.

Information about depression

How depression develops differs for everyone. However, it is certain that Western cultures deal with depression more than other cultures.

Depression is a common problem and leaves traces in our society as a whole. According to the latest statistics from the World Health Organization, more than 300 million people worldwide suffer from it. As a result, 800,000 people aged 15-29 take their own lives every year.

Doctors prescribe various types of antidepressants, typically SSRIs with brand names such as Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft. However, these types of medications come with unpleasant side effects. These include fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, as well as a feeling of not being alive.

Psilocybin as the most powerful natural remedy for depression

Various studies have now been completed to demonstrate whether or not psilocybin therapy is suitable for treating depression. Successes are being achieved in various studies, with effectiveness around the 80% level when looking at reduced depression two months after a single psilocybin session. The success of psilocybin therapy is closely linked to the set and setting of the therapy. In other words, the circumstances surrounding and during the trip have a significant influence on the outcome.

Why psilocybin works so well against depression

Psilocybin works well against depression through a number of mechanisms. The most important of these mechanisms is that psilocybin is converted into psilocin, and this substance can then stimulate the 5HT receptors just like serotonin. Generally, people with depression have a deficiency in serotonin stimulation of the 5HT receptors. The following properties of psilocybin are utilized to combat depression.

Psilocybin will temporarily eliminate the serotonin deficiency through conversion to psilocin, whereby;
Depression temporarily gives way to contentment
Fear first becomes a little scarier and can then be put into perspective so that fear disappears
From a state of contentment and without fear, one can look honestly at life, at what is good and what could possibly be better.
A state of brain hyperconnectivity arises during the trip, whereby;
Things become clear that were not clear before
At a high dosage, a connection can be made with the subconscious brain, whereby;
Where trauma or old pains can be processed so that they do not influence daily automatic behavior
Fears from the subconscious can be given a place
At the highest dosage, ego loss or ego death may occur, resulting in;
A near-death experience can occur, causing the fear of dying to decrease.
Someone can begin to feel connected to the entire universe.
Experiencing a sense of powerlessness while it feels good to have no influence (anti-control).
Upon "landing" from the trip, being happy with life whereby;
The will to take good care of yourself.
Developing self-esteem by understanding your (subconscious) self
Spiritual growth
A more open personality leads to greater social growth and less depression in the long term.
Psilocybin promotes brain repair by increasing BDNF.

More than just psilocybin therapy

Contrary to what many expect, we do more than simply guide individuals during a psychedelic ceremony. We believe that a healthy body provides a healthy foundation for mental health as well. Therefore, we make every effort to address all facets of existence, which is why we also advise our clients on nutrition, exercise, and supplements. This holistic approach to body and mind ensures the best results in the short and long term. Generally, for most clients, we follow a schedule that looks as follows:

Report, neurotransmitter test and intake
Advice on nutrition exercise and supplements based on point 1
A period of 2-3 weeks of progress reviewing point 2
An individual psychedelic ceremony (unless a group offers additional benefit or preference)
Review of the truffle ceremony on the same day
After about 1-2 weeks, another follow-up discussion

Extras during psilocybin ceremony

Our psychedelic therapy A truffle ceremony includes the following extras to make the experience even better:

Possibilities of trip therapy

The greatest benefit of a trip therapy session is that, through introspection (looking within yourself), we can gently guide you to change your self-image. Many addictions, anxieties, stress, depressions, and other personal problems stem from a (negative) distorted self-image, unrealistic thoughts, or subconscious stress caused by fears in the subconscious. If you treat yourself to the best in terms of nutrition, thoughts, and exercise, this will have a positive effect during and after the trip, because these lifestyle changes are perceived as logical during the experience. Be good to your body and mind, and they will be good to you in return. You deserve to be the best version of yourself.
