CTV News tells us that the psychedelic ingredient can actually help treat anxiety in a quick and effective way. That’s not all. It has the potential to alleviate depression in patients diagnosed with cancer.
It seems that the effects of this form of treatment may last for two months according to the results of the two studies. Based on experts, more research must be done in order to check the effects of the substance.
‘Magic Mushroom’ Psychedelic May Ease Anxiety, Depression In Cancer Patients
But the record so far shows “very impressive results,” said Dr. Craig Blinderman, who directs the adult palliative care service at the Columbia University Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He didn’t participate in the work. Read more…
