High doses of psilocybin - the active ingredient in magic mushrooms - appears to have a similar effect on depressive symptoms as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drug escitalopram, suggests a systematic review and meta-analysis published in The BMJ today.

    I suppose this depends on where one lives. For the US, I think psilocybin assisted therapy is available in Oregon, Colorado and a in couple of places in California. In Australia it is already legal since 2023.

    Apart from that there are several countries in the world where psilocybin can be bought legally. I don’t know for sure, but I would assume one could find there some physicians exercising this sort of therapy.
