Magic mushrooms are great, and Canada has approved them to help treat dying patients with mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. My personal experience in using them has been nothing short of great because they help me be creative in my work, and they provide me with ease during the hard-restless nights. But sadly, Ontario doesn’t have the greatest in-store selection of psilocybes, which is why I always buy online. Let’s check out the health benefits of magic mushrooms:
They Can Treat PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a type of mental disorder that developed due to experiencing traumatic events. It can happen to anyone, even those who did not go to war or have been part of one. Typically, people who have PTSD get them from being sexually assaulted, involved in an accident, or being abused. They can ruin a person’s mental health and well-being if left untreated. Eddie Ray Routh, who is infamously known as Chris Kyle’s killer, had PTSD due to his time serving in the military. Doctors have diagnosed him with mental illness and prescribed him anti-schizophrenia medication to cure him, but to no avail.
However, magic mushrooms are different from those medications. They have made groundbreaking discoveries that made scientists believe that they could serve as a viable treatment for PTSD. Like therapy, psilocybin could directly affect the mind and treat it with positive hormones like Serotonin to repress the traumatic memory, thus alleviating it. Research is still being actively conducted to note the extent of their potential to treat PTSD accurately.
They Can Treat Depression
A 2016 study shows that magic mushrooms can treat depressed cancer patients that doctors found hard to treat their mental health problems with conventional methods. The standards antidepressants and therapy sessions have proven to be unsuccessful with severely depressed patients because of their suicide tendency and existential distress, but magic mushrooms show promising results due to their long-lasting potency that resulted in the patient’s changing their mindset and view of themselves. Further studies are being conducted to shed more light on their usage in treating depression.
They Can Treat Anxiety
People deal with anxiety in a lot of ways, and one of the best ways to treat them is using magic mushrooms. Anxiety is a common mental health disorder that can occur in an individual from adolescent age to a mature adult. Since magic mushrooms interact and stimulate the brain nerves directly, they help their minds wander and de-stress themselves from all of the anxiety-inducing thoughts that haunt them. Magic mushrooms can help people suffering from anxiety to let loose and de-stress to feel better and do not commit to any self and others endangering actions.
