Psychedelics to cure/help mental 'i s s ue s'
    #14407937 - 05/05/11 10:52 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

i wasn't sure how to title this thread so i just wrote mental i s s u e s :tongue:

I'm just wondering has anyone here ever heard of someone schizophrenic using lsd or mushrooms to reduce the symptoms or perspective of it in the long run?

I'm sure it could also make it worse though.      There has been some talk about LSD to rewire certain conditions in the past but I haven't really seen much literature on this.

Also MDMA has been used to help people with PSTD.  Psilocybin for death anxiety.  Obviously marijuana helps with many things.    LSD and Shrooms have also been said to help with ocd, depression, problem solving, creativity blocks,etc.....

What else?        Anyone ever hear of lsd or mushrooms curing other mental problems?    Can they help other serious mental disorders or maybe possibly make them worse for some?

I have read that a schizo used Mushrooms to help cope and reduce some issues, I heard it made him more 'normal' but didnt make it go away. So they said it did help.

Dont remember where I heard that though.

my psychedelic usage made my mental difficulties (paranoia, ocd, social anxiety, couple other things) both better and worse.

It made it better because I now understand more completely what i need to do and believe in order to make it go away and understand more the way my mind works to cause those feelings. I understand way more of how culture, environment has caused my issues, and understand more about where my difficulities lie in relation to relationships i've had, will have in the future, and also in relation to the mental difficulties of the whole of humanity - all the sociological, historical, psychological, etc connections give me a much deeper understanding to work with.

But along with that expanded consciousness comes the fact that i am definitely more aware of the bad voices and patterns in my head so that when i do fall prey to them they mean a lot more, and therefore sometimes cause a longer more intense reaction in me

In general psychedelics I feel have definitely made me more "intense" - my highs are higher and my lows are lower ever since i've tripped. I cry during movies more than i ever used to. I think it may be because things take on far more meaning than before.

I imagine if you're schizophrenic and already seeing the world in symbols that no one gets, it might make that more pronounced. It really depends on the person how psychedelics will affect your current mental difficulties - the causes are such complex webs of experiences, genetics, and the way the person deals with all that stuff, that it's super hard to predict

Remember, this is all just me theororizing subjectively on my experience

Mushies have definately helped with PTSD for me :thumbup: also reduced social anxiety tenfold, although i wouldn't exactly call that a mental 'i s s u e' :tongue:

One of my friends with clinical depression got out of a funk with mushies though

I wasn't depressed, but shrooms have definately helped me change my lifestyle for the better, and helped with happiness in general, in the way i take things (mindset kinda things i guess)

Haven't read this particular article in a while, so I forget everything they go over, but I do recall it being an interesting read. Sorta pertains to this subject>>>>
