i have this thought that maybe depressed guys should not take any powerful psychedelic,because thier sad or maybe mad unconscious become pronounced in the trip and they will experience bad trips.
is it true?
and you may say they change after seeing hyperspace but what if someone has chronic depression?
 
I'd say you need a sufficiently strong mind to do psychedelics. Some people with depression do have it, others don't. You need it even if you don't have depression in order not to believe everything they say in the hyperspace.

Developing mindfulness and concentration through meditation, living a healthy and focused life are the key skills for a psychonaut. And it doesn't hurt to have healthy relationships to take you back on earth after having been to heaven and hell a few times.
 
To add more to what I've mentioned above, I still deal with moments in trips or whole journeys where I am battling depressive thoughts, thinking, and states. And the degree of intensification tends to be overwhelming when occurring. But I have a different vantage point from which I can interact with these instances, and this vantage point comes with a kind of power. I try to use this power to help myself grow and better manage what I deal with it [effect of depression] and instances of intrusive thought penetrating my thinking. However, sometimes I fall down and it takes a while to get back up. It's the nature of the game and comes with the territory. All that said, I don't think that all people with depression should do psychedelics on their own without some kind of facilitation.

I also have to agree with what Tomtegubbe mentioned above about being strong willed and the reasons why. While I deal with depression on a regular basis and as a result don't necessarily feel or realize that strong-willed, I'm still aware that I am based on always fighting the good fight with my experience with depression. Psychedelics are my swords and shields, but weapons can be wielded against one when not prepared.

One love
 
I have always seen truely and severely depressed people always do very well on pyschedlics. The fact many feel like they have nothing to lose seems to help the person navigate the trip with an open mind and no fear, nothing to lose only everything to gain.
