How it feels to treat your depression with a hallucinogenic drug.
"I had the full-blown mystical revelatory experience - the big psychedelic multi-coloured light and sound show."
Part of the definition of a Schedule 1 drug is that it is not used medicinally. But this trial, which scanned of the brains of participants after their treatment with psychedelics, painted an extraordinary physical picture of the effect and the experience. The brain scans showed "more connectivity" between different brain regions.
Steve made the difficult decision to come off the drugs. He continued his long-term regime of meditation, yoga and running that he says has helped him to manage his depression all these years. The images showed that psychedelics induced a connectivity, where different brain regions communicated with each other much more, revealing new ways of thinking.
