After losing my dad some years ago i suffered severe depression. Got diagnosed with ADHD, spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Also suffered mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction? Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
@@Wolfgoddess56 I had (I guess) a situational depression. I went through some stuff. Took a couple month’s but ever since I notice I don’t care about anything (in a good way). I don’t get too upset and feel much more in control.
"it helps you to carry on, but you need to continue your daily routine" this is what people need to hear about because it is fundamental in the process to getting better
I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates.
after being in therapy for almost 4 years, i had my first appointment with a psychiatrist yesterday and i took my first pill a few hours ago. my therapist and i just came to the conclusion that no matter how much therapy i do, if i have this chemical imbalance in my brain it's just really hard to get to the bottom of things and actually work of myself. this video really made me optimistic about my process but i can't help but be terrified of the possibility of being one of those people who've had a "terrible experience". either way im trying my best to stay positive and not get ahead of things! thank u for this video❤️
Aw I'm so sorry I've just seen this! Taking medication for my mental health alongside all of the other things we know help improve mental health was the best thing that I ever did! I hope medication helps you too x
@@rafaelguzman5876 they had to up my dose to 75mg but after 4-5 weeks it started working, and i feel better than i've ever felt. i didn't realize how much i was suffering until i've felt how i was "supposed" to feel. just be patient because it really does help so much
Hi there Laura, I am considering medications but I am scared too... Can you tell me In what ways it improves you. I am currently on vacation from my job due this weird creeping anxiety which then makes me depressed as well. I see no motivation to even go out of my house and I am scared that I wouldn't be able to sustain my job, so my question here is that does it help with motivation or decrease being fearful in general
Congratulations on your journey and finding a solution to your troubles. There is a terrible stigma out there about antidepressants so I’m so happy to see this type of content. You have hippies always preaching plants, psychedelics etc but never give the full picture. Much like you I had debilitating anxiety and depression for years and Lexapro absolutely saved my life and gave me my life back. It’s also helped give me motivation to do therapy to try and find the cause of my mental health issues. To anyone struggling PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE know there are solutions out there and all you need to do is talk to your doctor and that’s the first step to changing your life for the better. Wishing you all well
It took me a long time till a conversation with a friend who has depression lasted like 8 hours... i made an appointment and did get help and now im on day 5 of anti depressants... hopefully, others get inspired to get help.
Antidepressants can be very good to shift people from total incapacity to just being able to function. That gives a person a chance to take more positive steps. Counselling often doesn't help depression because people normally focus on their problems in therapy. Your mind creates your future and what you focus on creates your reality. Write down positive thoughts (even if you don't believe them or they are the opposite of what you actually feel at the time), because that resets the mind. Keep a daily gratitude journal and write down as many things you can think of (even the fact you have legs, hearing, and sight, food, clothes etc). Take exercise, do yoga, cycle, clean your kitchen, they all add to esteem and a sense of achievement.
Great story. Sad to hear the stigma that still lingers for this medicine but it's awesome that society is quickly changing that thanks to videos like this :)
So much respect for being so open about this topic. I know there can be a bit of an anti-medication drive about these things, which is why I think your video is so important, especially with your own experience.
Am 35 years men Just start on my antidepressants hopefully helps me fix my mind , thank you for the vid you make me much calmer after watching it Thank you Tash
@@Wolfgoddess56 permenant nervous system damage made me disabled. Wheelchair and all. Was healthy before i took those meds. And gave me akathisia - look it up what it is.
Hi all I’m having general anxiety and mood swings nearly two years now 😢my nerves system shuts down if I’m in anxious situations I’m doing everything I can about meditation 🧘♀️ breathing 😮💨 but my big problem is after this happened with me I feel fed up from evryone even my family kids I want to be alone all the time 😢it’s hurts because all my marriage life I was very amazing mom and wife is there anyone like me there ❤
I recently discovered your channel after becoming slightly obsessed with medicine due to greys anatomy, and I love you and your videos!! You’re so brave Tash, good luck with everything ❤️❤️
I have been prescribed every antidepressant on the market for anxiety issues. None worked, all made me suicidal both SNRI's and SSRI's which I did not have before. Given antipsychotics which worked for a while but ultimately left me with psychosis which I did not have before. So for some people like me, meds are not the answer to the problem but create problems that did not exist before. Finally given ECT, which resulted in major memory issues which I did not have before. For some people there are no answers, treatment only worsens the problem. I am putting this in so as to contrast my experience with others. I am not anti-medication or treatment but a 'minor' problem became a major problem because of or despite intervention. Currently I am seeking treatment but no psychiatrist will take me on, they are all too busy they say. My GP says they like patients that are quick in/quick out and do not like anybody with complex problems. For someone who never touched illegal drugs or alcohol, had a healthy diet and exercised every day, it is a tough life.
Right, I had a similar experience. People like us exist too! The worst/best part is I am a med student and I need to convince/prescribe them in the future. I was even diagnosed with PTSD because of how horrified I was of seeing doctors for practically anything because of the treatment I got in the past
What an amazing video. Thank you so so much for sharing this as It makes so much sense and I really needed to hear these words today ❤ I will be picking up my prescription tommorrow.
I'm here bcus I have anxiety and depression . I went to psychiatrist after 1 yr battling anxiety with no meds it's hard espicially when you were at work I decided to try to take meds but I'm so scared alot of stigma and negatives comment from people . Btw you're so beautiful Dr.
Hey Tash...Harshita here🇮🇳,I just started my ADs. I was kind of feeling as myself of someone who is weak,I tried self help for 2 months but when I thought there is still something that I can count on,I immediately booked an appointment for cities best psychiatrist. She said that don't think of yourself as someone weak, depression is an illness and can happen to anyone. Now, you know it happens mostly in the morning that your mind keeps on telling you all the disgusting stuff,like you're gonna kill yourself, you can't go on any longer and since I started the medication,it keeps on telling me that you're weak and that's why you needed those meds.The meds are doing magic....but still what would you like to say to me to make me feel calmed.
@harshita, bless you. I’ve also been struggling quite a bit lately. It seems that there’s an underlying guilt trip going. Are you feeling any better now? Hugs 🫂
amazing video, thanks for this. my friend told me about you, med student that’s tossing up deciding to take antidepressants or not. appreciate it heaps. i wrote the comment though because I want to know- what is the beautiful plant species in the background?
I managed to push through one exam but tbh it made me more unwell. I only got better once I managed to take a good few months away from medical school during lockdown!
Hi did u have physical symptoms like chest pain, throat tightness with ur depression and anxiety? I will be starting my meds today... My physical symptoms were getting worse so planned to start the meds
In 2019 , I was diagnosed with psychiatric condition called OCD and depression,And my physical symptoms were horrible - chest pain continuously, I was even admitted to cardiac ICU, but there was no heart related,that was the muscle pain doctor said, I am on medication since last 4 years , still not able to stop them , brain hormonal imbalance . Mental illness is so bad
3:40 "Over a period of 7 months I started to feel great and that is amazing" no, no it's not. Asking someone to wait 7 months to feel better is poor care
You mentioned that you had anorexia. There is a very strong correlation between eating disorders and childhood sexual abuse. I'd look into that if I were you. Theres a book that might help its called "The courage to heal"
