How psilocybin, the psychedelic in mushrooms, may rewire the brain to ease depression, anxiety and more

Depression and anxiety are among the most common and debilitating mental health conditions in the world. According to the World Health Organization, more than 264 million people suffer from depression globally, and nearly 800,000 people die by suicide every year. Anxiety disorders affect about 284 million people worldwide, and are often co-occurring with depression. While there are effective treatments for these disorders, such as antidepressant medications and psychotherapy, they are not always accessible, affordable or sufficient for everyone. Some people may not respond well to conventional treatments, or may experience unpleasant side effects or relapses. <a href="https://medium.com/@jordanedward357/how-psilocybin-the-psychedelic-in-mushrooms-may-rewire-the-brain-to-ease-depression-anxiety-and-1404d25d5695">Website</a>
