How Psychedelic Mushrooms Could Treat Depression
The consensus seems that low levels of serotonin are linked to depression and anxiety. This is why one of the most commonly prescribed medications for depression and anxiety are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). These drugs boost the levels of serotonin in the brain, improving the symptoms of these mental illnesses.

There’s less of an extreme peak and then crash, and research shows they have less potential to be addictive.
