Most people deal with anxiety and depression after they’re diagnosed with cancer. In fact, research shows that 30 percent of cancer patients have mood disorders.

The depression and anxiety only make things worse as some patients end up committing suicide, studies show. But all that can change if patients use psilocybin ‘magic’ mushrooms.

Studies show that psilocybin mushrooms can reduce stress and anxiety in cancer patients. In fact, using them once can benefit you for months to come.

There are over 100 species of mushrooms rich in psilocybin. If you’ve ever hallucinated after consuming mushrooms, psilocybin and psilocin were responsible for that.

One of the powerful effects of psilocybin is reducing activity in the brain, experts say. And this is one of the reasons why it works because people with anxiety and depression have overactive brains.

Psilocybin creates a positive effect on the brain which patients can turn to for months after using it.

In one study which involved 51 subjects with life-threatening cancer. Each subject took two doses of psilocybin after every 5 weeks. In one session they would take small doses of psilocybin then take normal doses in the other session.

Researchers found that most participants experienced reduced anxiety and depression after a single dose of psilocybin. This is more effective that antidepressants or therapy, which can take weeks or months before showing results.

Not only that, these results lasted for long. Over 80 percent of the participants still experienced less anxiety and depression 6 months after the dose.

Unfortunately, the use of psilocybin is illegal in the U.S. so it may not be used treatment for depressed cancer patients anytime soon. Additionally, psilocybin may be harmful to people with mental conditions such as schizophrenia.

But all hope isn’t lost. There are other mushrooms you can use for natural treatment.
