“Now our current thinking is this neuronal outgrowth probably doesn’t contribute to the increased connectivity in the brain, but it almost certainly helps people who have insights into their depression while on psilocybin maintain those insights,” Nutt said. “You shake up the...
(2022): Significant effects maintained up to 12 months As you can see, the review found that psilocybin therapy has demonstrated substantial promise in treating various forms of depression, with rapid and long-lasting symptom relief. In some cases, these results lasted for several months after ...
