Abstract

Mental illness is a hot topic of concern worldwide. The psilocybin has great potential in the treatment of mental disorders, but there is still a research gap on whether it can truly be applied in the treatment of mental disorders. Therefore, this research explores the feasibility of psilocybin’s true application in the treatment of mental disorders by collecting relevant literature on its experiments in recent years, analyzing the data and experimental results in detail. Research has found that in the treatment of mental disorders, psilocybin does have significant effects compared to traditional drugs. Psilocybin’s role is more pronounced in cancer patients with more severe and complex mental disorders, greatly reducing their depression index and effectively controlling the condition of substance abuse patients. And through popular science, some healthcare professionals who care for patients with eating disorders hope to apply psilocybin for treatment. Psilocybin also does have certain unresolved side effects. Overall, from a scientific perspective, psilocybin can indeed effectively treat mental illnesses, and morally speaking, healthcare professionals are willing to introduce psilocybin into the treatment of patients with mental illnesses. One day, when psilocybin is widely used to treat mental illnesses, it will be a significant progress in medical history.
