Is it depression or Autistic Burnout?
For years, I lived under the wrong diagnosis. Traditional treatments fail when we mistake a nervous system paralyzed by "masking" for a simple chemical imbalance.
In my latest article, I explore the neurobiology of burnout and the emerging role of psilocybin as a "window of plasticity" for the autistic brain.

Is it Depression or Autistic Burnout? Why the Difference Matters for Psychedelic Therapy

Psilocybin isn’t a cure for autism, but it might be the key to unlocking a nervous system paralyzed by decades of performance.

Single Dose of #DMT Rapidly Reduces Symptoms of Major #Depression
Unlike #psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide (#LSD), whose effects last for hours, intravenous DMT has half-life of around five minutes. Its #psychedelic effects are correspondingly brief, potentially making it more practical to administer in clinical settings.
Two weeks after the first dose, participants who received DMT scored about seven points lower, on average, than those who received a placebo.

Temptation in the Garden of Eden, Chapel of Plaincourault, Indre, Central France, ca. 1291.

The 'tree of knowledge' appears not to be a tree but an overgrown fly agaric ['amanita muscaria'] which suggests that the 'forbidden fruit' is any genera of fungi that contains psilocybin.

Spannende #Psilocybin-Studie, die theoretisch nachgewiesen hat, dass das #Psilocin nicht einmal der stärkste Wirkstoff im Mix der Pilze sein könnte; außerdem ist ein MAO-Hemmer dabei:

Psilocybin might not be the most psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, new research suggests

Published in Scientific Reports, new research provides evidence that minor compounds in psychedelic mushrooms work alongside psilocybin to interact with brain receptors. This chemical teamwork explains why whole mushroom extracts often affect people differently than isolated, lab-made psilocybin.
