Dr Michael Mosley the well known TV doctor penned a piece recently about whether magic mushrooms are the new prozac.
“When you are in a psilocybin-induced psychedelic state, your brain looks like that of someone who is having intense dreams.
Some areas of the brain also become hyperconnected, which allows new and increased communication between its different areas. The most impressive changes, however, occur in people with anxiety or depression, where the drug seems to reset the activity of key brain circuits.”
Considering the turn of events taken in the past month we are all reminded to look after our mental health as well as our physical health.
Hopefully we’ll not have to take recourse to either prozac or magic mushrooms to get through it.
