In a pilot study, researchers explored psilocybin, the active compound in certain mushrooms, as a treatment for severe treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in U.S. military veterans. Veterans often face higher rates of depression and mental health issues, making effective therapies critical. After a single 25 mg dose of psilocybin, 60% of participants showed a 53% reduction in depressive symptoms after three weeks, with 47% maintaining this response at 12 weeks, and 40% achieving remission. The study found that while psilocybin was effective, the intensity of the psychedelic experience did not directly correlate with treatment success, offering promising insights for alternative therapies. #linkinbio to read more. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #veterans #depressionhelp #depression by @healing_maps

Big news in dementia research: Psilera has made strides with PSIL-006, a psilocybin-based drug that doesn’t cause psychoactive effects. This breakthrough could treat frontotemporal dementia without the “trip” that typically comes with psychedelics, allowing broader use for patients and more reliable double-blind trials, a key factor in achieving FDA approval. With promising results in preclinical studies, PSIL-006 may revolutionize dementia care. by @healing_maps

Colorado Springs is now home to a unique spiritual community: Colorado’s first “psychedelic church,” founded by Benji Dezaval. This organization offers psilocybin mushrooms and DMT as part of its spiritual practice, operating under new state laws allowing community-based use of psychedelics.

Dezaval, who worked in mental health for a decade, explains his mission: “I use these tools with respect and reverence. The universe has provided these for us to find our wellness,” he told The Colorado Sun.

The church aims to make psychedelics more accessible and foster community. Dezaval emphasizes safety, providing dosing guides and warnings about potential interactions with medications.

Community member Reyes Saucedo, a veteran, shares: “I’ve dealt with my own suicidal ideations and psychedelics definitely helped me, mentally, see things differently.”

As Colorado navigates its new psychedelic landscape, this church raises intriguing questions about spirituality, community, and the future of psychedelic use.

CEOs are investing up to $15,000 in psychedelic retreats to enhance their leadership skills and foster personal growth. As Peggy Van de Plassche, a venture capital investor and corporate board member, shared with Fortune.com, “It was all the self-hatred and self-loathing I have for myself” that she confronted during her psilocybin experience, leading to a transformative shift in how she relates to others as a leader.

Gabe DeRita, an executive coach in private practice in Boulder and a freelance facilitator of psychedelic retreats, agrees. “People focus a lot on competence in leadership development, but it’s actually character that sets good leaders apart,” he said. Psilocybin can help an executive become more authentic—and therefore more compelling—by surfacing their bad patterns and limiting behaviors. “It makes it easier to see the ways that you’re kind of tying your own shoelaces together, holding yourself back,” DeRita said, “and allows you to see it in a way that’s not only piercingly insightful, but that generates self-compassion instead of self-judgment.” Tap the link in our bio to read the full story. by @healing_maps

Fascinating new research compares near-death experiences (NDEs) to psychedelic trips.

A study published in Neuroscience of Consciousness reveals striking similarities between these two profound states of consciousness. Key findings:

* Both experiences often involve:
- Feeling of leaving the earthly world
- Altered time perception
- Sense of peacefulness
- Ineffable qualities
* NDEs tend to reduce fear of death
* Psychedelics often enhance connections to others, nature, and the cosmos

Dr. Charlotte Martial, lead researcher, says: “Now we can say for sure that psychedelics can be a kind of window through which people can enter a rich, subjective state resembling a near-death experience.”

This groundbreaking research opens new avenues for understanding consciousness and could have implications for mental health treatments. What are your thoughts on these findings? #linkinbio

A recent study from King’s College London suggests that DMT, the psychedelic compound found in ayahuasca, could provide rapid relief for depression. In a trial involving 17 participants with treatment-resistant depression, a single dose of DMT combined with psychotherapy led to significant improvements within just 24 hours, with effects lasting up to three months.

Researchers believe DMT may help “reset” the brain, breaking negative thought patterns that contribute to depression. While these findings are promising, more extensive studies are needed to confirm the results. Visit the link in our bio to read more from the study. by @healing_maps
