Psilocybin as a new way for depression treatment

Mental disorders are a growing global problem that significantly reduce quality of life and can lead to death. Current treatments are not always effective for complex cases, so new options are needed. Studies show that psilocybin lowers depression and anxiety scores in patients with major depressive disorders or serious life-threatening conditions, and this effect is long-lasting with little or no adverse side effects. Psilocybin is potentially a good treatment for depression in some patient groups, especially when other therapies show little effect.
