pesky1972 4,928 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Trials using psilocybin (magic mushrooms) have shown great promise in the treatment of clinical depression. Hopefully more research can be done, and without the stigma that the research and administration of cannaboids had simply because they’re also illegally used recreationally. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Councilestatekid 1,644 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 It's a nasty thing is depression lost a couple of friends to it. being a typical bloke I had no time for it and had the attitude of man the f**k up and get on with it to be honest.1 friend we had no idea at all he suffered from it till he hung himself at this point I have to say my all outlook changed I'm still shit at all the sympathy shit but it doesn't take much to listen spend a bit of time with people when you know they need it family dying relationship breakdowns etc.not saying my views have changed just some people need that arm around them to know someone does care that's why my out look has changed on the situation but my personal views are the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stumfelter 3,032 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 A lot of depression and associated illnesses (anxiety, ocd etc) are due to a lack of serotonin hence a lot of antidepressants are serotonin boosters. That's why telling somebody to "man the fcuk up" is as pointless as telling a diabetic they don't need insulin. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
