Thank you for featuring this important topic. Psychedelic medicines are quickly changing the way that we think about mental health/substance use treatment. After many years of trying to recover with the help of twelve-step programs, I was able to stop using harmful substances with the help of ibogaine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin.
I’m excited too. I’m a long time sufferer of MDD and I’ve been on drug after drug and what typically happens with me is I seem to scoot by. I never feel good, I still feel down, the meds keep me from wanting to find a bridge, that’s how I explain it. I’m sick to death of dealing with depression. I want something new, I don’t want an antidepressant that’s going to do the same thing as the 8 others I’ve tired and don’t work. This is awesome news!!
Have you tried microdose on psychedelic mushrooms to cure your bipolar, there have been natural remedies for ages and they remain untapped, I have vets as friends who have used psychedelic and it has helped them tremendously , I get it from an online vendor that specializes on trades and safe prescription of dosage use , they deliver discreetly anywhere
Love MedCircle's informative videos! Side note: did no one wonder if her tripping over saying "MDMA" was her on psychedelics tripping? I'm genuinely curious if microdosing could improve our daily functioning?
I think deliriants have the most promise. Since they: • Don't really lead to addiction because their experiences are slightly unpleasant • Have by far the strongest effects, completely disabling rationality and sanity temporarily • Have the most wide ranging effects Humans are just afraid of them, as they seem to challenge their sense of self. Also, I think their permanent effects are just long-lost memories dredged near the surface trying to surface, including from dreams 😴.
Yes there is more awareness out there than ever. Spread the word. Another person who is highly educated in this field is Joseph.T.LaTorre. Look him up.
to anyone who is unaware ayahuasca is a drink made by boiling caapi vines and the leaves of the psychotria viridis shrub, (it can also be derived from a few other plants).
I would like to know if there is a way for you guys to influence the Veterans administration to do this. I've already been turned down by VA on a couple different medications. Ketamine was used in Afghanistan somewhat to replace morphine. I don't like the mines, phines, etc., it's not a good basic medicinal option. I've seen too many of my guys just go off the deep end with these aphetamines prescribed by doctors.
I've been dealing with depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation for over a decade. I'm in Australia and I would love to be able to try these therapies in controlled settings - but it isn't obvious that it's becoming available any time soon. Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs everywhere.
Any negative effects from using those? It is weird for me to hear only positive info, usually it doesn't work like that. I doubt that we should rush with making those drugs so easily accessible.
Prescribing mushrooms or any hallucinogenic and sending a patient home with them alone is a bastardization of the science. Either the patient should be required to have a clinician guide with them to process before, during, and after or they don't get to do it at all less we end up with all the problems of the 60s all over again.
It was my understanding from the conversation that clinician presence was part of the treatment. Agree, prescribing them willy nilly would not be good. We've seen what that does in the world of pain meds. Definitely open to exploring the possibilities.
Please don't go buying illicit substances and recreationally using said substances to medicate for whatever psychological disorder you have. I'm a little put off by those who are staunchly in favour of psychedelics for mental health. So many seem to also be biased an opposition to the use of SSRIs and other evidence-based pharmacological treatments for a plethora of disorders.
@Egalitarian917 I mean, no they really aren't evidence-based, because the evidence is scant and isolated to small sample sizes, poor methodology, publication bias (there are statistical procedures for measuring publication bias, it does not mean someone simply looked at who conducted the study, or who funded it); moreover, randomised controlled trials in mental health are RIDDLED with issues pertaining to ecological validity of findings - I.e., RCT's often exclude people with severe or with large amounts of cmorbid diagnoses, so only those with less severe and... somehow (*sigh*) those who only have a single or largely primary diagnosis are accepted into the studies. This excludes, like, almost every single person who walks into some sort of mental health setting to be treated. Meaning, that the findings from our research hardly apply or bare out the way they did in their trials. So, "evidence-based" treatments don't necessarily translate into practiced-based evidence. I'd also like to point out that there's no reason to shun or fear monger about things like SSRI's, mood stabilisers, antipsychotics, ADHD meds etc... they work to a degree, some more than others (stimulant ADHD medication, for example). But hey, the efficacy of these drugs is also vulnerable to the same methodological pitfalls that plague the evidence base for psychedelic treatments. I'd also like to say that I actually get to work with these populations, I'm a psychologist. Psychedelics are not some panacea that will revolutionise the mental health world, no, that's a highly stupid and dangerous thing to push. Just like antidepressants, psychedelics won't magically help you process trauma, it won't suddenly change your brain chemistry, functionality, or structure... it certainly won't prove to be better than current pharmacological treatments already available - not enough to provide any clinically and meaningful difference to patients. Real change takes deep introspection, support from loved ones, attachment needs being met, safety, shelter, food, and a purpose in life. No drug can ever provide that.

Great topic, thanks for shedding light on the evolution of treatments for mental health 🔥

See, this is when I’ll get my doctoral.

Yeah, they used ketamine lollipop in Afghanistan. It's a short term fix
