Magic Mushrooms and their analog psilocybin were widely studied in the 60s to cure depression, anxiety, and PTSD. In small doses it increases your neural plasticity. Meaning your brains ability to form new connections and make sense of the world or in the case of PTSD get out of a rut in your brain. Of course, studies were shut down for the better part of 50 years due to the War on Drugs. Now we are back to researching.
IMHO psilocybin works much better than these serotonin drugs for depression. Pharma has failed us, bigly.
If you want a non psycho-active mushroom to try for neural plasticity, try Lion's Maine, find it on Amazon. You'll have some vivid dreams though.
Now you are speaking my language.

That is much nicer to hear than what I hear from Quora people.
