  1. Magic Mushrooms Illness and Anxiety Many people struggle with illness and anxiety. These struggles limit their activities and the enjoyment they get out of life. However, psychedelics like magic mushrooms have been studies and their potential in treating mental illness and anxiety seem promising.

  2. Mental Illness • The term “mental illness” covers a wide range of mental health conditions. Basically, these are disorders that have a significant effect on your mood, thinking, and behavior. Some of the most common examples of mental illness are depression, anxiety, addiction, and eating disorders. • Although most people have mental health concerns from time to time, these turn into mental illness when persistent signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and disable you from functioning normally. Mental illness causes misery in facets of one’s daily life such as school, work, and/or relationships.

  3. Signs and symptoms can vary depending on the exact disorder. Some examples include feeling down, confusion, excessive fear, difficulty to concentrate, extreme mood changes, distancing from friends and activities, lack of energy, delusions, inability to cope with stress, changes in sex drive, hostility, and even suicidal thinking. • In some instances, mental illness can present physical problems too such as headache, stomachache, and other unexplained body pains. Generally, mental illnesses are caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors. Some mental illnesses are inherited, some are caused by exposure toxins, and some depend on one’s brain chemistry.

  4. Anxiety • Although anxiety is a normal part of life, people with anxiety disorders have intense, excessive, and persistent worry about daily situations. Anxiety disorders have recurrent episodes of sudden and intense anxiety. They interfere with daily activities, and are difficult to control. • Common signs and symptoms are restlessness, tension, a sense of impending danger, increased heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, trembling, and inability to concentrate.The causes of anxiety disorders aren’t fully understood but traumatic events in one’s life can trigger anxiety disorders in people who are already prone to anxiety. Genetic traits can also be a factor.

  5. Can Magic Mushrooms Cause Anxiety and Mental Illness? • People’s opinions about magic mushrooms are usually divided into two. On one hand, magic mushroom fans say shrooms can usher in transcendence and peace of mind. On the other hand, there are others who keep calling back to the stigma of the 60s, when psychedelics were linked to the counterculture movement, and blamed magic mushrooms for a decline in mental health. • Researchers have conducted recent experiments with magic mushrooms and have come away impressed with their potential to treat some forms of mental illness and anxiety in patients with terminal illness and the general population.

  6. As for the question “can magic mushrooms cause anxiety and mental illness?” the key takeaway from these studies is: New research has indicated the controlled, low doses of the magic mushrooms may be effective in treating depression and anxiety. Each patient was given either a pure dose of psilocybin or a placebo, and asked to report their levels of depression and anxiety at different times over the next few months. Patients who have been dosed with psilocybin had lower anxiety levels by the 9th week and levels of depression were also reduced. By carefully administering low doses, the research participants didn’t have any negative experiences while under the influence.

  7. Can I Self-treat with Magic Mushrooms Self-treating with magic mushrooms may not be a good idea without supervision or if you’re not experienced in taking magic mushrooms. One of the factors that contributed to the positive result of the studies was the oversight and guidance participants received throughout the experience.

  8. However, you can replicate these research settings. If you want to experience the therapeutic effects of psilocybin, here are some tips: • Start with a low dose. As seen in the studies mentioned above, the research participants were given low doses of psilocybin yet they were able to enjoy the benefits months after taking the drug. This also lets your body adjust to the substance easier compared to taking a larger dose all at once. • Stay in a comfortable, private environment. These studies were conducted in settings where the participants were able to ride out their psychedelic high. Make sure to remove dangerous objects in the areas just to be on the safe side. Low Doses of Psilocybin • Enlist the services of a good trip sitter. A trip sitter is basically someone who stays sober while you go on your psilocybin journey. By having a trip sitter present, someone can watch over you and even help you process your perceptions.
