One of the biggest advantages of using psilocybin as a treatment for mental illnesses is the dosages. While other depression and anxiety medication is required to be taken daily, psilocybin is different. In clinical testing, some patients only need one dose every couple of months while only some patients require more frequent dosing which would consist of one dose about every month. So no, everyone taking psilocybin for a mental disorder wont be walking around “tripping out” all the time. This would be a huge breakthrough because people with mental illnesses can sometimes feel ashamed about the fact that they need daily medication. This can help people feel more “normal” in their everyday lives.
