Its likely that even with this up and coming research that some people may think of this as the “lazy-mans” way of treating your illness. While this is a very promising research into psilocybin it does accompany other standardized treatment models. While under the influence of the medication, people talk to psychologists and psychiatrists to reflect on their lives. Psilocybin is not a one step medication that is going to solve all your problems with nothing but the medication. It is generally highly encouraged to be in counseling for the dose and for some time afterward. It is still mental illness that needs to be worked on through self reflection and ways to cope with life around you. Just because people seek more effective medications does not mean they aren’t putting in the work to change their lives, it’s still going to be a long road to recovery.
