Are Magic Mushrooms better than SSRI for Depression? (Psilocybin on the Brain)

The Magic Mushroom Compounds (Psilocybin & Psilocin) outperformed the Standard Depression Medications (SSRI, Escitalopram) in a recent clinical trial which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The new developments suggest that Psychedelic drugs like Psilocybin could be a potential cure for depression shortly. This would be welcome news for millions of people suffering from severe and treatment-resistant depression. Here I have animated research findings including the followings. • Benefits of magic mushrooms such as being a fast antidepressant, profound experiences, provision of insight, and beneficial ancillary effects (mood, self-esteem, sex, motivation, expression of emotions). • Side effects of Magic Mushrooms including Visual and Auditory Hallucinations • Mechanism of Action of Psilocybin (How it interacts with Serotonin- 5-HTA2 receptors in the cerebral cortex) • The potential of being a cure/treatment for Patients with Depression. Interested in clinical trials?
