Psilocybin for depression could help brain break out of a rut, scientists
say

Research shows effects of compound found in magic mushrooms can be seen
weeks after treatment.


The psychedelic compound found in magic mushrooms helps to open up
depressed people’s brains and make them less fixed in negative thinking
patterns, research suggests.

According to the findings, psilocybin makes the brain more flexible,
working differently to regular antidepressants, even weeks after use.
Researchers say the findings indicate that psilocybin could be a viable
alternative to depression treatments.
