From The Sun: Dr. Charles Raison, professor of psychiatry and human ecology at the University of WisconsinâMadison, discusses research into new treatments for depression, “many of which have been a part of human cultures for millennia: compassion meditation, sweat lodges, fasting, and psychedelics â in particular psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms. He says experiments have shown that psilocybin can put people into a ‘state of resilience’ against whatever is causing their depression.”
