\n This treatment could work like magic.<\/p>\n

A new study has found that just two doses of magic mushrooms \u2014 and a sprinkle of psychotherapy \u2014 can put depression into remission, and could work even better than current antidepressants.<\/p>\n

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine found that about half the patients in their study saw relief after taking the psychedelic psilocybin, according to the findings\u00a0published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe magnitude of the effect we saw was about four times larger than what clinical trials have shown for traditional antidepressants on the market,\u201d said <\/a>Dr. Alan Davis, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine adjunct assistant professor and study co-author.<\/p>\n

There were 24 participants in the study, all of whom had a long-term history of depression and were given two doses of psilocybin over different periods of time. During their monitored trip<\/a>s, participants wore eyeshades and listened to music through headphones while lying on a couch for about five hours \u2014 a shockingly short amount of time to have such profound effects, considering how long current depression treatments take.<\/p>\n

A week after their second trip, about two-thirds of participants had an over 50% reduction in their depression symptoms. After four weeks, 54% of participants no longer qualified as being depressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause most other depression treatments take weeks or months to work and may have undesirable effects, this could be a game<\/a> changer if these findings hold up in future \u2018gold-standard\u2019 placebo-controlled clinical trials,\u201d said Davis.<\/p>\n

This is far from the first study to find evidence that magic mushrooms may be hugely beneficial to mental health, although it stands out for the massively significant positive changes it reported in participants.<\/p>\n

Ketamine, another drug with hallucinogenic effects and a reputation for recreational abuse, has also had a renaissance as a depression treatment.<\/p>\n

The magic mushroom study\u2019s release coincides with Oregon becoming the first state to legalize the hallucinogen for therapy \u2014 and decriminalize small amounts of all street drugs. This week, Washington, DC, also voted to decriminalize the far out \u2018shrooms.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
