No, it was not a doctor but a psychologist. He said that he can refer me to a psychiatrist that handles these things.
Hey, I don't want to give away my location but I'm from Europe. If I do go along with it, I will be sure to let you know :)
No worries and thank you, Europe is more than enough info, I was just curious what countries/areas allow this treatment, and it makes sense haha. I hope north America relaxes the laws around these things too
Oregon State in the US recently legalized and started licensing Psilocybin treatment service providers. It's an interesting experiment if nothing else, and I haven't personally tried medically supervised psychedelics yet.
even with what im pretty sure would be considered a microdose (i didnt even/barely hallucinated. actually, my last "hit" did sh!t f all) and i still "spiraled". i was "showed" that i was right, living is bs and im better off kms. i found it "showed me what i already knew" (still agreeing with it too)
Could you explain "mental distress" a bit more? Are you referring to someone with mental illness?
Mental distress is stress, anxiety and alike. Mental illness or being prone to developing mental illness (like if you have prrvious case in your family) it's a risky thing as they can trigger full blown illness years before it would naturally occur. These are very potent substances
I would definitely try a psychedelic treatment or microdose, or ketamine... Both seem much less harmful long-term than antidepressants as well as more effective. I'd consider myself lucky to try either of these.
Lol I think they were just agreeing with the previous reply. That trend irks meHey friend, did you want to say something?
I would ask your doctor about the potential affects before trying them
All I can say is you're so lucky to live in a country that encourages this as a treatment option for MH, seriously!
It's actually not legal for general prescription here. My therapist is a bit of a goof but has connections with people licensed to administer this stuff.
I may have given the wrong impression here.
id deff wouldnt rule ti out. ketimine therapy has helped allot of people with depression, and there seems to be allot of things suggesting things like psilocybin can do the same thing.
