i actually found a study for ketamine oral in my city, vienna, and applied...i hope so much i get approved, as i suffer from chronic severe depression, and tried so many anti depressants and therapys...i also looked up tms therapy, and if i can afford it, i will try it as well...
I can tell you there are a lot of folks doing their own independent research. Multiple groups on social media are dedicated to it. Lots of positive reports.
Thank you Dr. Tracey Marks for this video, you have explained the psychedelics' potentials on medical use very well. We, a clinical trial site in the UK, are currently conducting research on psychedelics for people with depression. We are happy to see this may be an option for patients who need it as eligible participants would be able to take part and see whether this method works for them.
It's madness! Alcohol, one of the most dangerous drugs, to yourself and your surroundings is perfectly legal and avaiable in every damn store. Thank you Reagan, for a useless war on drugs that caused and is still causeing a lot more harm then good.
@@edunlap6594 No the reason that it's illegal is pretty complicated. It has been admitted by several government officials that they sought a reason to get mexicans, black people and hippies in jail, and weed was the common factor, so making that illegal was the easiest option. Another reason it has become illegal is because the hippie movement was a threat to US foreign policy since they protested against the Vietnam war. The hippies claimed no one who used LSD would want to be sent to war. That's a quick way to convince a government to make a drug illegal. Yet another reason psychedelics are taboo is because the prior research that was performed was done by researchers who were very biased and were a little too much into the drugs. They interpreted the results in ways that fit their view and some even created a sort of cults around the psychedelics research, dragging students in. One big example of the researchers that I'm talking about is Timothy Leary. Can recommend checking out the Wikipedia page about him.
You don’t want a psychologist while on these. You want shamans. Shamans specialize in this world psychologists know nothing of this, hence why she can’t even pronounce the names properly.
Psychedelics have significantly helped my medication-resistant depression and have relieved me of a decade-long string of chronic substance abuse and addiction!
My little buddies saved my life after a decade of trying to find the right therapy and/or medication. So happy to hear that they've helped you, too! Everyone deserves to fall in love with life again
I was diagnosed with Bipolar depression, ptsd and severe anxiety. I survived Human sex ( read rape ) trafficking survivor and I watch your channel for help in between my meetings with my main therapist and I haven't been able to meet my psychiatrist. Thank you for your work it is much needed in my life and my mother watches to help with me as well, I have been watching documentaries on this and am so happy to see this is being covered. Thank you again
@Ansley i’m so sorry you had to endure such a horrible crime. I’m glad you’re in treatment and I’m especially glad my videos are helping you. Take care and hang in there 😊
You are the coolest and best psychiatrist in the world, you talk about things that my many past and current psychiatrist never mention. You seem to be curious and have a passion for this field. You’re my hero.
I agree! I can watch these videos hours on in! I'm a psychology major and work in mental health...I love learning about this! Also helps me understand myself and my individual DX.
I have to agree that your show is very informative on these topics. A long history of having these put me ahead of just hearing from you and understanding. It still wasn't a bore or reason to not listen and watch your show. Thanks.
@Brandon Marchetta did you participate in a trial or study? I don't want to be disrespectful but the dosage is far more controlled and probably a lot less versus a trip on shrooms at home with substance bought of the street. We need to wait for conclusive evidence and large enough clinical trials to evaluate the situation. You sharing you story is very important, yet anecdotal evidence isn't enough to completely advocate against this.
Yeah I honestly doubt that would be a universal medicine for veterans. If you go off to fight an illegal war that gets a million people killed, those mushroom spirits aren't going to toy with you, they're going to show you everything you don't want to see.
i just recently got my medical cannabis in germany and it changed my life, i suffer from bipolar and borderline personality disorder and with cannabis i can finally have a normal routine, i love eating, i can sleep, i get joy from my pets, it helps me take the edge of any episodes i might have and its anti depressive, im so glad it helps me so much :)
I'm glad you had such terrific effects with cannabis. What are you taking? CBD? I am bipolar as well and I'm a little scared to get my psychosis or mania come back, but I also need something extra to enjoy more life and relax. Please share as much as you can (a friend of mine can help me get it, there are lots of stores here, so I don't think there should be any issue)
@@jairolondono6824 Hi there, I used indica cannabis in pill form for sleep at night. It works better than any of the meds. I'm med resistant. It's from the medical dispensary. Indica makes you sleepy and calms down pain, where Sativa revs you up. Sativa made me more anxious but some love it. Wired differently, have to try it...took me a long time to get it right and a lot of money. Research a lot and ask questions. Pharmacist you get the best bang for the buck by smoking or vaping, I don't want to do either. My state is legalizing finally.
We need more brave people like you to spread awareness of the Therapeutic benefits of psychedelics. A real psychiatrist gives credibility, but the majority will dismiss this as quackery unfortunately, which is why we need more of this type of content from more people with credentials.
@@MarketWizard546 You are referring to the current wave of science denialism and anti-intellectualism in America, i presume. You're right, but never let yourself forget that those people still represent a minority. A tragically large minority - but still a minority. And thankfully there are still some institutions where expertise prevails. Medicine is one of them.
@@ems7623 I know. I did say that the majority will dismiss this as quackery. At least for now. Hopefully that can change and we can move in a new direction.
I had a lot of narcissistic and depressive qualities a few years ago, I’ve had two psychedelic experiences in the years since (took pretty high doses both times) and it has completely changed my life, experiencing full ego death is by far the most terrifying and beautiful experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. I’m not cured, but I can safely say, I’m much more aware.
@@healthyone100 if you look for it, you will find it - but you absolutely have to trust and verify the source (who it comes from, how it was made) and do your research so you are comfortable and aware of your set and setting to a high degree.

I live close to the Amazon, I've done Ayahuasca and I've taken psylocibin. Both have been extremely beneficial for my emotional and mental well being. Thank you for sharing this information!
I think a lot of psychiatrists would know about these drugs. I learned about ketamine and psychedelics in nursing school. It’s sort of just getting accepted / finishing clinical trials phase, though you probably need a specialized clinic to get it, or get enrolled in a trial
@@DrTraceyMarks I am in the Netherlands, where magic truffles can be bought. GPs do not have it on their radar though. Psychiatrists do, but mostly anecdotal and mostly cannabis. btw I am homozygote for both MAO A and B, it's a fun life but easy on the cheesy :D
Psychedelics have done so much good for me I still have my bi polar disorder and adhd and all but I’m so thankful for psychedelics because they gave hope and so much insight and showed me how amazing life can be

@@slickrick5596 hi I can’t give you a source that would be illegal. There are legal retreats in the Netherlands tho, and some parts of the USA and Canada have legalised psylocibin mushrooms. Effects are still there. It’s still one of the most profound experiences I had
I have depression from losing my only parent and family, my mother suddenly. I have ptsd from being shot in a random drive by. Also sexual abuse from a young age and up to an adult. Noticing lately I have developed ED, to clarify over eating. I've tried therapy and I've tried antidepressants. None of it works. I live in Texas. I've taken some of these drugs in the past. And I must say, it helped. A lot. I hope there are changes to its legality! Thank you for this video.
Really nice to hear someone from the medical community taking this seriously. It can very easily get dismissed as quack science but psychedelics are incredibly powerful tools to help our mental health.
Thankyou. It’s people like you who sit at the forefront of the potential for good of our planet and hopefully the knowledge will spread but at the same time with safety and in a healthy manner.
Pscilocybin lifted me out of my depression for 4 months after 1 single experience. It works but I think that you will always fall back to your original state after awhile... But that room where you get lifted out of it might be just what you need to change your routines and life to get on a better track. But don’t play around. There’s some serious risks to ponder about doing psychedelics as well. It can for example being out schizophrenia in some individuals and bad trips can be seriously traumatizing.
@@chriserony Not to mention an 80% rate of addiction cessation (smoking and drinking specifically) among those who had legit spiritual trips. And I mean PERMANENT cessation of smoking/drinking as they tested them 1 to 1.5 years later and 80% still remained sober. Will it last forever? Perhaps not. But Taking something once or twice a year for a couple years WILL provide greater benefit. This is why they recommend 2 doses for "Treatment Resistant depression", taking one dose should be then combined with the continuation of Anti-Depressants, as Psilocybin INCREASES the amount of Serotonin in the brain, whereas SSRI/SNRI anti-depressants stop the body from REMOVING that Serotonin. However if your body is producing little to no serotonin to begin with, it won't help that much. You need something to hit the 5HT-2A receptors and create more natural serotonin as artificial reuptake inhibiting will always be less "natural" and lead to more side-effects. But a combination can be a god-send for those who need it (Although in a small subset serotonin syndrome is possible i imagine. You would want to lower your dose or get specifically tested somehow.)
@@brentsobol5076 you can't go into it expecting a "fun" trip. First, there's work to do before a trip. Second, sometimes, while unpleasant,that bad trip brings out things that need to be dealt with. Again, this is not about a receational high in cartoon world.
But you can always just eat more mushrooms four months later. They’re a medicine, not a toy. Bad trips are very easily prevented with the right use and dose.
As someone who has experienced the profundity of plant medicines, you did a beautiful job and did a great service by using your platform to spread the word how magnificent these compounds are! I did an Ayahuasca ceremony in the Amazon jungles of Ecuador and you pronounced it like the locals did so great job! These plants are healing. Keep spreading the word.
Dr. Tracey, you have helped my family so much. I have ADHD-I, depression and anxiety. My siblings have PTSD, BPD 2 and possible borderline personality disorder. We all in outer late teens and way 20s used many of the drugs you mentioned. We would always have a sober chauffeur to make sure nothing went wrong. These times were spread out by many months due to availability. Looking back, our depressive and impulsive traits were not as strong, our overall general feeling of mental health was much better. I attribute my continued existence to these interactions helping me navigate life. Now we're in our 40s and apparently need to go back to it, as our symptoms are creating issues again. Thank you for bringing it to others with information.
Thank you so much for talking about this. To echo the sentiment of others, it's so refreshing to hear a psychiatric doctor who talks so openly about mental health and psychedelic research!

Ketamine changed my fucking life. It’s literally unbelievable. You won’t even try to believe me, but I went from a suicidal mess, to this content person that feels lucky to be alive. I’m more caring to my gf and dogs. I immediately felt the need to take steps to fix the relationships with people I hurt. I no longer wish I was dead every waking moment. Literally over night. I mean, I took a bunch of ketamine.. like, a fucking lot on night. But at the time I didn’t care. I was already dead and I morphed into god and soared through the universe and lived in eternity. Eternity is what feels like changed everything. It was terrifying. Every second seemed to be years where I was dead and there was nothing I could do but just be, in a room, forever. Could hardly move my body how much ketamine I was on lol. I’ve done like every drug over the past 8 years trying to self medicate. I figured I gave up on trying to fix myself and was just in it for the good times when I stumbled upon this stuff. No psychedelics compare. They’re great, don’t get me wrong. I love all the things they showed me, and they’ve helped me understand a lot of my problems, but they also showed me how useless I am and how there’s really no reason for me to be here. Ketamine was just as mean, but I saw it in a different light. No ones life means anything. We’re just on an incredibly luckily positioned rock flying through the unit verse to our inevitable destruction. We all die. It’s just about the ride. You can’t have the good without the bad. You wouldn’t know what good is if you didn’t know bad. I saw the people’s faces. There were sad ones. There were mad ones. But then there were happy ones, and it lit a fire in my soul that’s been out longer than I can remember. I want to be one of those. That’s all I want with this. I can’t go throw it away and not get that. Like I said, you won’t even begin to believe me. You’d have to have experienced it. If someone told me they morphed into God himself, I’d look a little crazy eyed too lol

I ONLY believe you because you shared that you morphed into God. Until that moment, it's all the emotional equivalent of navel gazing. What gets a person to that point is specific to the individual. Some people require nothing-- it just spontaneously occurs. You, on the other hand, had abused your body and your brain to such an extent that it took something which would be extremely dangerous to the vast majority of humans to blast you out beyond your limitations.
so you had to get high to "experience" absurdism ?? also what does this have to do with the video ? it's psychiatry-oriented information for mental health pacients not existential realizations lol
Thank you so much for sharing. I started microsoding psilocybin recently and it's been helping me so much with depressive feelings and eating disorder behaviour. The benefits can really be tremendous, let's share this knowledge with the world! :)
Ayahuasca is pronounced "eye-uh-wah-skuh" I only correct you because you said you hope you're pronouncing it right. I'm glad I can teach you something in return for all the wonderful things you've taught us 😊❤️
Thank you for your bravery in being on the front line of this renaissance. For acknowledging this research publicly as a psychiatrist. The future is brighter because of what you're saying.
I love that you touched this topic, I think some psychedelics have a huge potential to heal a lot of people from depression and anxiety. I hope more professionals would approve of their use
I really enjoy how open minded you are. In France it’s not really the same, and every time I dared to talk about those research even with friends they looked at me like I was a freak! As I did schrooms once and had a great experience and understood a bit about myself, I was psyched, as I had no doubt it could be something real, when done properly and not for fun like I did. But for a few hours I felt light, ok, safe. And for a bipolar, that was a great experience! I felt like I was experiencing life itself for a moment, away from depression, self harm and all those nasty friends of it. Hope I made sense, I’m French, and it’s hard to describe something like that, even in French so in English..quite a challenge!
So much gratitude and so much love out to you.. I am ADHD and Bi-polar Rapid/cyclic.. never taken any meds, but I am a yoga therapist, and yogic methods have helped me soooo much! I wish to make videos someday and tell ppl my story, and inspire them to incorporate meditation and chanting and asanas into their daily routine to manage mental anomalies (NOT disorders)... Dr. Tracy❤️ you have taught me so much.. I wish I had access to a doctor like you.. 🤗
I remember learning about magic mushrooms in college. One of the guys in this alternative spirituality group talked about his experiences with them, and he made it sound like tripping could be a wonderful, even healing and eye-opening experience. I was fascinated, but I never dared to try and get my hands on a sample. It would be great if one day soon, mushrooms became legal on the federal level in the USA. They seem like a great option for people who may not do well on the usual drugs for depression and the like.

I applied to a psilocybin study at Yale and met the criteria after watching one of your videos. I haven’t heard back from them yet, but I really hope to get accepted. Thank you for your amazing, super watchable videos. You are becoming America’s Therapist!
Thank you for this follow up from your prior microdosing video. Since your video I’ve been microdosing mushrooms to treat brain injury symptoms. It’s been a game changer, I’ve since been able to come off all my antidepressants and pain killers with once one 100mg microdose capsule once every three days. There have been a couple of hiccups, however this is why more research is still needed to get this out to change people’s lives forever. Thank you for your videos, they have all helped me while coping with the mental health symptoms associated with brain injury. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for this video Dr. Marks! The use of mushrooms, LSD, and DMT gave me the perspectives and psychological tools to work on my clinical depression and anxiety all on my own

@@kari818 You're still going to get high no matter what. But if you micro dose it then you might not get as high if you've did a larger dose where people hallucinate
@@DrTraceyMarks I'm concerned that you could have a really 'bad trip,' feel paranoid, and frightened. Could that happen to some people? I took acid once, as a teenager and freaked out from it. I swore I'd never do it again. I didn't. Is it the same thing? Would MDMA or ketamine be better for long term depression? Or are they all giving the same effect?
always so grateful to watch your insight and wisdom! i’m so happy your getting this out there as it has helped me significantly with my ptsd, depression and anxiety! it has also enhanced my spiritual journey so so much. a good way to describe psilocybin to me is like taking a vacation in your own mind and body, seeing the utopia that lies within yourself! that we are apart of nature, not separate and it truly makes you feel connected with yourself and the world around you. thank you for being you, and spreading the word. much love and light!

Very informative videos. I've been treated with Ketamine for 2 months and I am very impressed with the outcomes. First, I have not experienced any negative effects. That said, I have not wanted any alcohol since the day after the first treatment and nor have I had a drink since that time. I've abused alcohol almost everyday as an adult which has been for 50 years. This is the best evidence that I can put a finger on that the effects of Ketamine are valid. There have been a few additional benefits I have experienced with this drug integrated with supportive psychotherapy. I appreciate all the work you have invested in developing these videos with the goal of helping other mentally ill people who have not had an alternative until recently.
Thank you sooo much Dr Marks You are such a blessing and while I rarely comment, you have been the light in some of the darkest valleys. Thank you for letting your light shine. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I never thought i could be able to say this to someone I hardly know... Dr Tracy. I love you.. Not just for how you share this life changing information. But for being the type of person to do it.. Thank you so much😁👍
I'm gonna try microdosing i have social anxiety and depression. I would share my experience in the future here :) . Update: I took 1 gram on the empty stomach when I woke up, my first dose was on saturday. After around two hours I noticed I was so calm and relaxed. I notice I can focus better. Day 2: Same dose, first thing on the morning. My anxiety and depression is 90% off. At work i am more focus and I have more energy. I feel more connected whit my kids and wife. Day 3 don't have mood svings or anxiety. I feel so live and happy. At work i notice i don't care what other people think or feel about me. I have control on my emotions first time in 13 years!! Today I feel great I reduced my antidepressant dose from 150mg to 100mg. I don't understand why is this iligal in some countries! Not a single medication help me so fast and whit zero side effects. Greetings from Croatia :))
Thank you for making this video. I hope things change for the better. It's great that psychedelics are finally getting positive attention in the mental health realm.
I tripped very hard on psilocybes 2 weekends ago with friends and it was awesome. I still have that "afterglow" as we call it. Music is particularly enjoyable for months after a full dose. Yes, clinically we assume that you need to have a condition to warrant treatment, but I believe that even healthy individuals benefit from an occasional trip and its lingering boost in mood and outlook.
Hi, Dr. Marks. I love Bothe this and the last video on psychedelics. I've used LSD back in the early to mid 1970s. I was in my late teens and it was the thing to do at that time. Even while in the Military sometime. I said all that to say this. I really believe it cured my stuttering problem I was having all my life up until that point. I haven't stuttered in years, and I'm 69. I'll be 70 on the 24 of Nov. Love the video. Peace!
The trennd I keep seeing with these substances is that they just outright change people's way of thinking, like a miniature factory reset. Would you describe your experience as such? If not, could you elqborate?
I've been microdosing psilocybin and it uplifts me for 4-6 hours whenever i take it. Makes me more understanding, productive, creative, intuitive and balanced. I find I don't need it every day but every 2-3 days.
Wow Dr Marks. I have watched many of your videos. I always learn something new. You are amazing. You have a gift for sharing complicated information in a very accessible way. Thank you for making your videos. Please keep going. Now, more than ever, we need informed guidance like yours.
I watched this video on my TV and I had to pull out my laptop so I could leave a comment. I have heard of some initiatives in my state for psilocybin-assisted therapy and it is currently a burgeoning area of research practice. From what peers in the field have told me, this research is to better understand how psilocybin can be integrated into clinical mental health practice. I'm currently an Associate Clinical Social Worker, gathering my hours while working in public mental health, to get my LCSW. My work experience puts me in direct practice with the most under-serviced communities with the highest needs. The future of psychedelics in the field excites me because it could have a significant impact on these communities & larger sociopolitical implications. anyways, enough nerding out!! Thank you for the insightful video!!!
Psilocybin has saved my life in so many ways. Healed so many things. Ocd, Childhood trauma, and most of all patterns of addictions. I will forever be grateful to this natural medication. I have never used it in a recreational dose. I have only microdosed due to fear. However, it has been great for me in moderation.
Thank you for this. Your vast knowledge and matter-of-fact yet optimistic delivery is refreshing to find in this field, and I Love watching your videos.
Great insights and understanding of the chemical mechanism of these psychedelics . Not being critical, but I'm surprised as a therapist you don't know how to pronounce these substances names. I appreciate you respecting the potential these substances have for many stubborn mental illnesses.
I think it's dangerous that everyone's pushing the good woo-woo when it comes to psychedelics and not mention it's grossly powerful chance of having a "difficult" experience.. These aren't toys, they command your respect and they are *not* for everyone. Legalize but inform.

I second that too!.So many here on you tube always asking for money, it's out of control and they aren't even psychiatrists. Have to be careful who you watch. Love your channel, very smart Dr, and funny too! 🌹
Set & setting are vital in taking psychedelics (you need a place preferably in nature at night where you feel safe and comfortable and a really good friend who knows you well). In ayahuasca /eye-a-was'-ka/, the Taita (Shaman) also drinks the tea to help him help you and see your issues. Most ayahuasca (aka yagé /yah-hey/) ceremonies are at night outdoors with a campfire accompanied with Andean music and mouth harp instruments (although didgeridoos would also be amazing). Mother Aya always gives you a "panoramic life review" and shows you how to be a better person. The next morning after aya is a mini-reawakening that leaves you with a lot to ruminate about for weeks if not a lifetime.
thank you so much!! i have logged the informaton on the research projects & i appreciate you transmitting all the information you transmit on your channel . . .
Greetings from Brazil! Awesome channel and awesome video! Ayahuasca is definetly very transformative and very powerful for consciousness broadening and spiritual and emotional healing. However, it's not very recommend to drink it on your own (without an experienced shaman or therapist). Although we call it 'a tea', it's not exactly a tea, and if it's taken in an inappropriate set and setting, it can be scary or even dangerous. Ayahuasca really is AMAZING for both therapeutic and spiritual purposes, but NOT recreational. We also don't consider it to be a hallucinogen. We classify Ayahuasca, Mescaline, Psilocybin, etc, as Entheogens. Cheers guys!
Mescaline makes you feel everything is ok you’re ok the world is ok it’s magical - when I tried LSD it was so horrible- I couldn’t bear the hallucinations- so many people could be helped with mental disturbances if this treatment was available- Thanks for posting
I’m in! Just found the first video on mushrooms and was just today asking where are the black doctors and specialists talking about psychedelics (plant medicine)? Thank you very succinct and to the point and I’m a newbie subby yea I love the look of some of your content and looking forward to listening . Please do more on psychedelics as our communities are waking up to something promoted as for the privileged 🙏🏿🤩😍
I used MDMA 4 times between 2018 and 2020... All uses had an effect, but especially the third and fourth use transformed me a lot in a very positive way. I got rid of many inner sources of anxiety, I also got in greater contact with my body.

Awesome video, Tracy! I love the work that you do in making medical information more available/digestible to us layman! I am all for getting this stuff out there and available, but I am equally concerned about the drug companies doing what they have always done, which is the theft of indigenous plant knowledge and subsequent manufacturing of artificial versions of the active ingredients, which then can be patented and commodified. The problem with this is that, first off there are other compounds that have a roll in the plant medicine's work, and these compounds get ignored frequently when dealing with this type of situation. Add to that to propensity of the state to make unavailable anything that cannot be profited on, and we can see the possibility of these drugs being made only available in synthetic versions while making the natural versions hard or impossible to come by, thereby "cornering the market" while demonizing the original sources. In short, the problem is the untrustworthy nature of the government, especially when concerning health, wealth and power.
I cured my own ptsd taking MDMA and dancing during the 1990's. I did not even know I had it. Body movement and psychedelics in a safe, loving environment, catalysed by the empathy inducing drug allowed for free bodily expression and a gradual processing of unconscious trauma.
As someone that struggles with Major Depressive disorder, I would love to be able to function on a high level, but I wouldn't take any hallucinogens.. I deal with Chronic pain and take meds for that too and I don't like the feeling of being "high" or unable to have complete control,. So I have asked my dr to take me off the major pain meds. I dony like the feeling of not being in my own mind and having self awareness. Thank you, Dr. Tracy, for sharing this information about the clerical trials.
that’s obviously your right, but maybe keep ketamine in the back of your mind. it treats both chronic pain and depression. i get it myself. The hallucination / out of body experience is limited to the 30-45 minutes of the infusion itself at a clinic, and can leave you with lasting good mood and reduced suicidality for days. since it’s in a time-limited period, and because a nurse is always in the room with me to administer it, i dont feel unsafe or out of control during the hallucination-they actually let me play instrumental music i like in the background
It's also fairly easy to grow your own. They like brown rice as a substrate, and sources for spore syringes and technical info is available via a web search.
You're so brilliant. Thanks for sharing with us all. A friend of mine did the Ayahuasca ritual a couple of years back. I hear its becoming "yoga" as in pseudo-Shamans belonging to companies do the ceremonies - which is a shame. I love LSD- always have, the first time i took it my whole life changed after the world I knew become much larger and more amazing than what I thought it was. After years of abuse as a foster child the change in my thought process was truly altered for the better. I was sceptical about Ayahuasca only because Mother Nature will dose how she pleases :) After I learnt Olivia Newton - John did it with her husband in the Amazon and said she had a profound shift in consciousness was i really interested.
I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and I eat magic mushrooms on a regular basis. I can definitely say that the day after I eat the mushrooms I feel much happier and way less anxious. This feeling usually lasts from several days to a couple weeks. It has truly made a difference in my life, especially since I can’t afford antidepressants or anti anxiety medications.
@@ninam.6781 strange comment for a bot. usually they want me to buy crypto through their amazing broker, or click links, but this one hands out sketchy shroom tips...interesting.
When you work with normal doses of this medicine you have to remember they can show you things that you may not be ready to confront. The mushroom is a teacher and you have to give full respect and reverence. If you fight the experience it can lead to trauma and potentially PTSD. If you let go and let the mushrooms do their thing they will HEAL you and liberate your soul!
I am currently in a clinical trial for this. Recently had my dosing day. While this video combined with her other psychedelic videos is one of the better narratives I’ve seen, it still falls way short of what it needs to be. The biggest disservice people like the Dr. here are committing is saying it’s using psychedelics to treat disorders. And videos and analysis like this are actually damaging to the immediate and long term progress. It is inaccurate and misleading and I can tell you from my experience that people having only information like shown here makes going through it more difficult because others just don’t understand and appreciate and think you’re just going on a joy trip and then you’ll be fine, and you the patient has different expectations and struggles leading up to and through it. That it’s a fun pleasure cruise and your lucky and it’s easy. It also jades your personal experience. It is truly damaging to the therapy outcomes and the pre-guilt of sort you have. They need to acknowledge it is the therapy that is the treatment, the psychedelic is an enabling tool. The dosing session is very hard work and very difficult. And that even outside of any hallucinatory experiences (I personally didn’t have much strong ones). The analogy is if your car breaks down, you don’t go to the store and buy a nice tool kit and come home and expect that to fix your car. You won’t fix anything and you could actually make things worse. You still need a master mechanic and repair guides and other supporting facilities to fix your car. To fix your brain. And even then, it’s dirty, messy, hard work and you’ll bust your knuckles in the process. It is not an easy therapy route. And it’s not quick either. It also depends a lot on the patient themselves. There need to be more honest, accurate, and responsible videos on this therapy. For the patients and for 3rd parties who interact with the patient in the lead up and run down.
Sure, but compared to the current lines of medication treatment, it sounds and is very promising. Current medications are essentially blunting tools. They just take you in your current state and put a filter so you don’t “see” (or feel) the negative symptoms you’re having. It’s a bandaid. While psychedelics provide an experience, that allows you to think in ways you’ve never thought of which has an effect that can last for months. But I do understand what you’re saying, that psychedelics are not an instant fix, but more of a journey which requires you to face your fears. That still sounds better than treatment with current medications tbh.
Dr - I STRONGLY urge you to experience Ayahuasca for yourself, under the guidance of a Shaman. This area of medicine is something we just don't have yet while it has existed for thousands of years elsewhere. These shamans have handed down the knowledge. I think they would embrace a physician participating. Their goal aligns with that of a physician, to heal. Please consider this and sharing your thoughts on youtube. If you can, go to Peru. If not, there are US based retreats as well, but Peru is the OG ayahuasca experience. I encourage you to "do your research" when picking a retreat to make sure you're always in good, healing hands. Thanks for educating people on the promises of psychedelics. Sadly there's A LOT of political cleanup that needs done.

WATCH NEXT: Introduction to Psilocybin th-cam.com/video/TknaM6okZM8/w-d-xo.html
i actually found a study for ketamine oral in my city, vienna, and applied...i hope so much i get approved, as i suffer from chronic severe depression, and tried so many anti depressants and therapys...i also looked up tms therapy, and if i can afford it, i will try it as well...
I can tell you there are a lot of folks doing their own independent research. Multiple groups on social media are dedicated to it. Lots of positive reports.
@@ambientheat really ? i know its a thing in america, but for germany/austria, in my area, i havent seen anything,,but thank you :) i will look more
Thank you Dr. Tracey Marks for this video, you have explained the psychedelics' potentials on medical use very well. We, a clinical trial site in the UK, are currently conducting research on psychedelics for people with depression. We are happy to see this may be an option for patients who need it as eligible participants would be able to take part and see whether this method works for them.
@zhen cheung i know, i didnt say that.
I can't believe that psilocybin is classified as MORE addictive and dangerous than opiates... crazy.
It's madness! Alcohol, one of the most dangerous drugs, to yourself and your surroundings is perfectly legal and avaiable in every damn store. Thank you Reagan, for a useless war on drugs that caused and is still causeing a lot more harm then good.
@@LoveIXTC and to every president afterwards for keeping it up.
Actually the war on drugs started with Nixon. Reagan just escalated it.
That's to keep psilocybin away from the "riff raff".
@@edunlap6594 No the reason that it's illegal is pretty complicated. It has been admitted by several government officials that they sought a reason to get mexicans, black people and hippies in jail, and weed was the common factor, so making that illegal was the easiest option. Another reason it has become illegal is because the hippie movement was a threat to US foreign policy since they protested against the Vietnam war. The hippies claimed no one who used LSD would want to be sent to war. That's a quick way to convince a government to make a drug illegal.
Yet another reason psychedelics are taboo is because the prior research that was performed was done by researchers who were very biased and were a little too much into the drugs. They interpreted the results in ways that fit their view and some even created a sort of cults around the psychedelics research, dragging students in. One big example of the researchers that I'm talking about is Timothy Leary. Can recommend checking out the Wikipedia page about him.
I can't imagine how beneficial it would be to have a psychologist by your side while you trip. I'd pay good money for that privilege.
You don’t want a psychologist while on these. You want shamans. Shamans specialize in this world psychologists know nothing of this, hence why she can’t even pronounce the names properly.

Our veterans desperately need this for ptsd. This would be the first time in our nation’s history where we actually take care of our veterans. 🙏🏻
@Brandon Marchetta yes, but it works for some people. Have you ever tried MDMA?
@Brandon Marchetta did you participate in a trial or study? I don't want to be disrespectful but the dosage is far more controlled and probably a lot less versus a trip on shrooms at home with substance bought of the street. We need to wait for conclusive evidence and large enough clinical trials to evaluate the situation. You sharing you story is very important, yet anecdotal evidence isn't enough to completely advocate against this.
@@animaniacs538 I have wonderful drug

We need more brave people like you to spread awareness of the Therapeutic benefits of psychedelics. A real psychiatrist gives credibility, but the majority will dismiss this as quackery unfortunately, which is why we need more of this type of content from more people with credentials.

Really nice to hear someone from the medical community taking this seriously. It can very easily get dismissed as quack science but psychedelics are incredibly powerful tools to help our mental health.
Thankyou. It’s people like you who sit at the forefront of the potential for good of our planet and hopefully the knowledge will spread but at the same time with safety and in a healthy manner.
Yes indeed. Thank you Yariv. 😊
Pscilocybin lifted me out of my depression for 4 months after 1 single experience. It works but I think that you will always fall back to your original state after awhile... But that room where you get lifted out of it might be just what you need to change your routines and life to get on a better track.
But don’t play around. There’s some serious risks to ponder about doing psychedelics as well. It can for example being out schizophrenia in some individuals and bad trips can be seriously traumatizing.
The psilocybin research group at John Hopkins has got their stuff so refined that it's something like 91% good trips.
@@chriserony Not to mention an 80% rate of addiction cessation (smoking and drinking specifically) among those who had legit spiritual trips. And I mean PERMANENT cessation of smoking/drinking as they tested them 1 to 1.5 years later and 80% still remained sober. Will it last forever? Perhaps not. But Taking something once or twice a year for a couple years WILL provide greater benefit. This is why they recommend 2 doses for "Treatment Resistant depression", taking one dose should be then combined with the continuation of Anti-Depressants, as Psilocybin INCREASES the amount of Serotonin in the brain, whereas SSRI/SNRI anti-depressants stop the body from REMOVING that Serotonin. However if your body is producing little to no serotonin to begin with, it won't help that much. You need something to hit the 5HT-2A receptors and create more natural serotonin as artificial reuptake inhibiting will always be less "natural" and lead to more side-effects. But a combination can be a god-send for those who need it (Although in a small subset serotonin syndrome is possible i imagine. You would want to lower your dose or get specifically tested somehow.)
Bad trips happen.
@@brentsobol5076 you can't go into it expecting a "fun" trip.
First, there's work to do before a trip.
Second, sometimes, while unpleasant,that bad trip brings out things that need to be dealt with.
Again, this is not about a receational high in cartoon world.
But you can always just eat more mushrooms four months later. They’re a medicine, not a toy. Bad trips are very easily prevented with the right use and dose.
As someone who has experienced the profundity of plant medicines, you did a beautiful job and did a great service by using your platform to spread the word how magnificent these compounds are! I did an Ayahuasca ceremony in the Amazon jungles of Ecuador and you pronounced it like the locals did so great job!
These plants are healing. Keep spreading the word.
Dr. Tracey, you have helped my family so much. I have ADHD-I, depression and anxiety. My siblings have PTSD, BPD 2 and possible borderline personality disorder. We all in outer late teens and way 20s used many of the drugs you mentioned. We would always have a sober chauffeur to make sure nothing went wrong. These times were spread out by many months due to availability. Looking back, our depressive and impulsive traits were not as strong, our overall general feeling of mental health was much better. I attribute my continued existence to these interactions helping me navigate life. Now we're in our 40s and apparently need to go back to it, as our symptoms are creating issues again. Thank you for bringing it to others with information.
That is amazing to see a psychiatrist who is constantly updating herself on different treatment modalities for mental illness

Ketamine changed my fucking life. It’s literally unbelievable. You won’t even try to believe me, but I went from a suicidal mess, to this content person that feels lucky to be alive. I’m more caring to my gf and dogs. I immediately felt the need to take steps to fix the relationships with people I hurt. I no longer wish I was dead every waking moment.
Literally over night. I mean, I took a bunch of ketamine.. like, a fucking lot on night. But at the time I didn’t care. I was already dead and I morphed into god and soared through the universe and lived in eternity. Eternity is what feels like changed everything. It was terrifying. Every second seemed to be years where I was dead and there was nothing I could do but just be, in a room, forever. Could hardly move my body how much ketamine I was on lol.
I’ve done like every drug over the past 8 years trying to self medicate. I figured I gave up on trying to fix myself and was just in it for the good times when I stumbled upon this stuff.
No psychedelics compare. They’re great, don’t get me wrong. I love all the things they showed me, and they’ve helped me understand a lot of my problems, but they also showed me how useless I am and how there’s really no reason for me to be here.
Ketamine was just as mean, but I saw it in a different light. No ones life means anything. We’re just on an incredibly luckily positioned rock flying through the unit verse to our inevitable destruction. We all die. It’s just about the ride. You can’t have the good without the bad. You wouldn’t know what good is if you didn’t know bad. I saw the people’s faces. There were sad ones. There were mad ones. But then there were happy ones, and it lit a fire in my soul that’s been out longer than I can remember. I want to be one of those. That’s all I want with this. I can’t go throw it away and not get that.
Like I said, you won’t even begin to believe me. You’d have to have experienced it. If someone told me they morphed into God himself, I’d look a little crazy eyed too lol
@ayy lmao that's an interesting string of words there friend. Well met!

I ONLY believe you because you shared that you morphed into God. Until that moment, it's all the emotional equivalent of navel gazing.
What gets a person to that point is specific to the individual. Some people require nothing-- it just spontaneously occurs. You, on the other hand, had abused your body and your brain to such an extent that it took something which would be extremely dangerous to the vast majority of humans to blast you out beyond your limitations.
so you had to get high to "experience" absurdism ??

I really enjoy how open minded you are. In France it’s not really the same, and every time I dared to talk about those research even with friends they looked at me like I was a freak! As I did schrooms once and had a great experience and understood a bit about myself, I was psyched, as I had no doubt it could be something real, when done properly and not for fun like I did. But for a few hours I felt light, ok, safe. And for a bipolar, that was a great experience! I felt like I was experiencing life itself for a moment, away from depression, self harm and all those nasty friends of it.

That said, I have not wanted any alcohol since the day after the first treatment and nor have I had a drink since that time. I've abused alcohol almost everyday as an adult which has been for 50 years. This is the best evidence that I can put a finger on that the effects of Ketamine are valid. There have been a few additional benefits I have experienced with this drug integrated with supportive psychotherapy. I appreciate all the work you have invested in developing these videos with the goal of helping other mentally ill people who have not had an alternative until recently.
Your unexited, no- sensation and professional way of taking about psychiatric topics is outstanding, Dr Marks, ESPECIALLY ON TH-cam! THX!
Thank you sooo much Dr Marks
You are such a blessing and while I rarely comment, you have been the light in some of the darkest valleys.
Thank you for letting your light shine. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You’re so welcome XandrriaPolish Many blessings to you 😊❤️
Tracey, to me you have the most exciting, informative and valuable channel on TH-cam. Thank you very much.
I'm glad we are talking about this, shrooms changed my life
So where do we get it?
I never thought i could be able to say this to someone I hardly know... Dr Tracy. I love you.. Not just for how you share this life changing information. But for being the type of person to do it.. Thank you so much😁👍

I'm gonna try microdosing i have social anxiety and depression. I would share my experience in the future here :) . Update: I took 1 gram on the empty stomach when I woke up, my first dose was on saturday. After around two hours I noticed I was so calm and relaxed. I notice I can focus better. Day 2: Same dose, first thing on the morning. My anxiety and depression is 90% off. At work i am more focus and I have more energy. I feel more connected whit my kids and wife. Day 3 don't have mood svings or anxiety. I feel so live and happy. At work i notice i don't care what other people think or feel about me. I have control on my emotions first time in 13 years!! Today I feel great I reduced my antidepressant dose from 150mg to 100mg. I don't understand why is this iligal in some countries! Not a single medication help me so fast and whit zero side effects.

Thanks for keeping up with this important topic. Your patients are very fortunate to have you.
I suffered from severe depression and healed myself through different psychedelics. Mainly Ayahuasca and Bufotenin, but also psilocybin and LSD.
Please why did you use several psychedelic and not only psilocybin
Thank you for making this video. I hope things change for the better. It's great that psychedelics are finally getting positive attention in the mental health realm.
Yes I agree. They’ve carried a negative association for so long.
I tripped very hard on psilocybes 2 weekends ago with friends and it was awesome. I still have that "afterglow" as we call it. Music is particularly enjoyable for months after a full dose. Yes, clinically we assume that you need to have a condition to warrant treatment, but I believe that even healthy individuals benefit from an occasional trip and its lingering boost in mood and outlook.
Hi, Dr. Marks. I love Bothe this and the last video on psychedelics. I've used LSD back in the early to mid 1970s. I was in my late teens and it was the thing to do at that time. Even while in the Military sometime. I said all that to say this. I really believe it cured my stuttering problem I was having all my life up until that point. I haven't stuttered in years, and I'm 69. I'll be 70 on the 24 of Nov. Love the video. Peace!
Shrooms help me perceive life in different ways and helped me love myself 🥰
I need to find some
@@stonedecatur6602 'wholecelium' based in The Netherlands are the ones I use.
The trennd I keep seeing with these substances is that they just outright change people's way of thinking, like a miniature factory reset. Would you describe your experience as such? If not, could you elqborate?
I've been microdosing psilocybin and it uplifts me for 4-6 hours whenever i take it. Makes me more understanding, productive, creative, intuitive and balanced. I find I don't need it every day but every 2-3 days.
Very good info. Also remember that "natural" doesn't mean safe or appropriate for everyone. Years of trials are protective of the community.
Wow Dr Marks. I have watched many of your videos. I always learn something new. You are amazing. You have a gift for sharing complicated information in a very accessible way. Thank you for making your videos. Please keep going. Now, more than ever, we need informed guidance like yours.
Such great content. Your videos are so informative
I am SO grateful for you and this channel 🙏🏾🙌🏾. Thank you. 💛
Curious to see if this'll become your most popular video yet, Doc!
That is curious. It’s a very popular topic. But more recently my anxiety videos seem to be the most popular. But we’ll see. 😊
I watched this video on my TV and I had to pull out my laptop so I could leave a comment. I have heard of some initiatives in my state for psilocybin-assisted therapy and it is currently a burgeoning area of research practice. From what peers in the field have told me, this research is to better understand how psilocybin can be integrated into clinical mental health practice.
I'm currently an Associate Clinical Social Worker, gathering my hours while working in public mental health, to get my LCSW. My work experience puts me in direct practice with the most under-serviced communities with the highest needs. The future of psychedelics in the field excites me because it could have a significant impact on these communities & larger sociopolitical implications. anyways, enough nerding out!! Thank you for the insightful video!!!
Psilocybin has saved my life in so many ways. Healed so many things. Ocd, Childhood trauma, and most of all patterns of addictions. I will forever be grateful to this natural medication. I have never used it in a recreational dose. I have only microdosed due to fear. However, it has been great for me in moderation.

Great insights and understanding of the chemical mechanism of these psychedelics . Not being critical, but I'm surprised as a therapist you don't know how to pronounce these substances names. I appreciate you respecting the potential these substances have for many stubborn mental illnesses.
I think it's dangerous that everyone's pushing the good woo-woo when it comes to psychedelics and not mention it's grossly powerful chance of having a "difficult" experience.. These aren't toys, they command your respect and they are *not* for everyone. Legalize but inform.
!!!
Right, these are like the lament configuration. You ingest these and all the spookies show up.
When you say "woo-woo," what do you mean exactly?

I second that too!.So many here on you tube always asking for money, it's out of control and they aren't even psychiatrists. Have to be careful who you watch. Love your channel, very smart Dr, and funny too! 🌹
Thankfully, I live close to DC where psilocybin is now decriminalized. I've been micro-dosing a few months and it's been very positive.
Set & setting are vital in taking psychedelics (you need a place preferably in nature at night where you feel safe and comfortable and a really good friend who knows you well). In ayahuasca /eye-a-was'-ka/, the Taita (Shaman) also drinks the tea to help him help you and see your issues. Most ayahuasca (aka yagé /yah-hey/) ceremonies are at night outdoors with a campfire accompanied with Andean music and mouth harp instruments (although didgeridoos would also be amazing). Mother Aya always gives you a "panoramic life review" and shows you how to be a better person. The next morning after aya is a mini-reawakening that leaves you with a lot to ruminate about for weeks if not a lifetime.
I enjoy chocolate shroom bars once in a while. Everyone should experience IMO.
I'm not bipolar. Social anxiety only.
What do they make you feel like? How long does it take to kick in? I have an anxiety disorder.
😹 muuum wtf?
@That_Pesky_Pescatarian try microdose first lol
thank you so much!! i have logged the informaton on the research projects & i appreciate you transmitting all the information you transmit on your channel . . .
Greetings from Brazil! Awesome channel and awesome video! Ayahuasca is definetly very transformative and very powerful for consciousness broadening and spiritual and emotional healing. However, it's not very recommend to drink it on your own (without an experienced shaman or therapist). Although we call it 'a tea', it's not exactly a tea, and if it's taken in an inappropriate set and setting, it can be scary or even dangerous. Ayahuasca really is AMAZING for both therapeutic and spiritual purposes, but NOT recreational. We also don't consider it to be a hallucinogen. We classify Ayahuasca, Mescaline, Psilocybin, etc, as Entheogens. Cheers guys!
Thank you sooooooo much, for sharing your brain to help improve ours

Mescaline makes you feel everything is ok you’re ok the world is ok it’s magical - when I tried LSD it was so horrible- I couldn’t bear the hallucinations- so many people could be helped with mental disturbances if this treatment was available- Thanks for posting
@katherine jones Not on instagram Is there another contact ? Thank You 🙏
I’m in! Just found the first video on mushrooms and was just today asking where are the black doctors and specialists talking about psychedelics (plant medicine)? Thank you very succinct and to the point and I’m a newbie subby yea I love the look of some of your content and looking forward to listening . Please do more on psychedelics as our communities are waking up to something promoted as for the privileged 🙏🏿🤩😍
I used MDMA 4 times between 2018 and 2020... All uses had an effect, but especially the third and fourth use transformed me a lot in a very positive way. I got rid of many inner sources of anxiety, I also got in greater contact with my body.

Awesome video, Tracy! I love the work that you do in making medical information more available/digestible to us layman!
I am all for getting this stuff out there and available, but I am equally concerned about the drug companies doing what they have always done, which is the theft of indigenous plant knowledge and subsequent manufacturing of artificial versions of the active ingredients, which then can be patented and commodified. The problem with this is that, first off there are other compounds that have a roll in the plant medicine's work, and these compounds get ignored frequently when dealing with this type of situation. Add to that to propensity of the state to make unavailable anything that cannot be profited on, and we can see the possibility of these drugs being made only available in synthetic versions while making the natural versions hard or impossible to come by, thereby "cornering the market" while demonizing the original sources.
In short, the problem is the untrustworthy nature of the government, especially when concerning health, wealth and power.
YES, YES, YES!!!
I cured my own ptsd taking MDMA and dancing during the 1990's. I did not even know I had it. Body movement and psychedelics in a safe, loving environment, catalysed by the empathy inducing drug allowed for free bodily expression and a gradual processing of unconscious trauma.
As someone that struggles with Major Depressive disorder, I would love to be able to function on a high level, but I wouldn't take any hallucinogens.. I deal with Chronic pain and take meds for that too and I don't like the feeling of being "high" or unable to have complete control,. So I have asked my dr to take me off the major pain meds. I dony like the feeling of not being in my own mind and having self awareness.
Thank you, Dr. Tracy, for sharing this information about the clerical trials.
that’s obviously your right, but maybe keep ketamine in the back of your mind. it treats both chronic pain and depression. i get it myself. The hallucination / out of body experience is limited to the 30-45 minutes of the infusion itself at a clinic, and can leave you with lasting good mood and reduced suicidality for days. since it’s in a time-limited period, and because a nurse is always in the room with me to administer it, i dont feel unsafe or out of control during the hallucination-they actually let me play instrumental music i like in the background
@@aconcretemoth9382 thanks for sharing that with me. I will keep it in mind.
You’re welcome @Violet Love. I’ve heard that a lot about feeling very unsettled from the lack of control you can experience with the pain meds.
@@DrTraceyMarks sorry for misspelling your name.
It's also fairly easy to grow your own. They like brown rice as a substrate, and sources for spore syringes and technical info is available via a web search.
@myco drips Cool beans! Yes folks, you CAN do this yourself!
You're so brilliant. Thanks for sharing with us all. A friend of mine did the Ayahuasca ritual a couple of years back. I hear its becoming "yoga" as in pseudo-Shamans belonging to companies do the ceremonies - which is a shame. I love LSD- always have, the first time i took it my whole life changed after the world I knew become much larger and more amazing than what I thought it was. After years of abuse as a foster child the change in my thought process was truly altered for the better. I was sceptical about Ayahuasca only because Mother Nature will dose how she pleases :) After I learnt Olivia Newton - John did it with her husband in the Amazon and said she had a profound shift in consciousness was i really interested.
thanks for posting this, have a good day! :)
Thanks Mack Fam!
Wow!!! This was all neutral facts. So much knowledge. Thank you so much for this
I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and I eat magic mushrooms on a regular basis. I can definitely say that the day after I eat the mushrooms I feel much happier and way less anxious. This feeling usually lasts from several days to a couple weeks. It has truly made a difference in my life, especially since I can’t afford antidepressants or anti anxiety medications.
Try some shrooms,they work faster on depression n anxiety

@@ninam.6781 strange comment for a bot. usually they want me to buy crypto through their amazing broker, or click links, but this one hands out sketchy shroom tips...interesting.
Fingers crossed indeed! I'm really grateful for your videos, by the way. The tools you offer have helped me through some tough periods.
When you work with normal doses of this medicine you have to remember they can show you things that you may not be ready to confront. The mushroom is a teacher and you have to give full respect and reverence. If you fight the experience it can lead to trauma and potentially PTSD. If you let go and let the mushrooms do their thing they will HEAL you and liberate your soul!
Talk about making things simple! Thanks, Doc👍
I am currently in a clinical trial for this. Recently had my dosing day. While this video combined with her other psychedelic videos is one of the better narratives I’ve seen, it still falls way short of what it needs to be.
The biggest disservice people like the Dr. here are committing is saying it’s using psychedelics to treat disorders. And videos and analysis like this are actually damaging to the immediate and long term progress. It is inaccurate and misleading and I can tell you from my experience that people having only information like shown here makes going through it more difficult because others just don’t understand and appreciate and think you’re just going on a joy trip and then you’ll be fine, and you the patient has different expectations and struggles leading up to and through it. That it’s a fun pleasure cruise and your lucky and it’s easy. It also jades your personal experience. It is truly damaging to the therapy outcomes and the pre-guilt of sort you have.
They need to acknowledge it is the therapy that is the treatment, the psychedelic is an enabling tool. The dosing session is very hard work and very difficult. And that even outside of any hallucinatory experiences (I personally didn’t have much strong ones). The analogy is if your car breaks down, you don’t go to the store and buy a nice tool kit and come home and expect that to fix your car. You won’t fix anything and you could actually make things worse. You still need a master mechanic and repair guides and other supporting facilities to fix your car. To fix your brain.
And even then, it’s dirty, messy, hard work and you’ll bust your knuckles in the process. It is not an easy therapy route. And it’s not quick either. It also depends a lot on the patient themselves.
There need to be more honest, accurate, and responsible videos on this therapy. For the patients and for 3rd parties who interact with the patient in the lead up and run down.
Sure, but compared to the current lines of medication treatment, it sounds and is very promising.
Current medications are essentially blunting tools. They just take you in your current state and put a filter so you don’t “see” (or feel) the negative symptoms you’re having. It’s a bandaid.
While psychedelics provide an experience, that allows you to think in ways you’ve never thought of which has an effect that can last for months.
But I do understand what you’re saying, that psychedelics are not an instant fix, but more of a journey which requires you to face your fears. That still sounds better than treatment with current medications tbh.
I tried them in high school to get into the "in crowd" and it worked! I felt so much better about myself.
Check out phillip_shrooms on IG he recommended and guilded me through my microdosing journey. They also ship and grow shrooms and all psychedelics.
I’m invested in a few companies developing psychedelic drugs for anti depression I’m hoping they can help people.
It’s big. I hope the investments pay off for you.

Dr - I STRONGLY urge you to experience Ayahuasca for yourself, under the guidance of a Shaman. This area of medicine is something we just don't have yet while it has existed for thousands of years elsewhere. These shamans have handed down the knowledge. I think they would embrace a physician participating. Their goal aligns with that of a physician, to heal. Please consider this and sharing your thoughts on youtube. If you can, go to Peru. If not, there are US based retreats as well, but Peru is the OG ayahuasca experience. I encourage you to "do your research" when picking a retreat to make sure you're always in good, healing hands. Thanks for educating people on the promises of psychedelics. Sadly there's A LOT of political cleanup that needs done.
how do i contact a Shaman in my area i would like to try it for my depression!
I've been watching a lot of your videos lately AND experimenting with said subject so its awesome you're making a video on this. Thanks!
