Psilocybin helps depression

Seems to be the case.

Anything that can alter our perception to give us a deeper understanding of ourselves can give us some enlightening insight.
Even a bad trip can afterwards be looked at as a positive experience.
To look at oneself and the world around them from a deeper and different perspective, wheather we look inwardly or outwardly gives us appreciation.
So much noise in the world, there is a reason we can feel more calmer and humbled by a quite space at home or in nature. Is it healing!

I believe there are no bad trips,

Just DIFFICULT Trips that take a bit more to intagrate ,,

I believe if you stop using the TERM "BAD TRIP "in your head/Thinking ... that this will help you avoid more of the Difficult trips .

Good luck intagrating any difficult trips

I definitely get a bit more cheerful on a tiny 400mg Microdose of Magic Truffle, though I'm not really a depressive sort personally.

I have found phenethylamines (mescaline and 2C-B, at least) to be much more clearly antidepressant by themselves. This doesn't necessarily imply they will help more, just that the antidepressant effect inherent to the substance seems much stronger. Of course, there's more to alleviating depression or low moods than direct antidepressant effects.

In my case, mushroom (or aya) sessions always have quite depressing period (during hour 3), followed by very positively improved mood/feeling, which last days.
It feels to me like this plant-induced 'trial' depression works similar to vaccines : introducing controlled and weakened threat somehow mobilize internal systems to counteract it.

Mescaline works differently ime, but still has significant antidepressant effects.

Psychedelics in general do that for me. No matter how challenging the journey is, there is always a period of wellbeing after it, either by virtue of them revealing some hitherto obscured perspective, or by virtue of just instilling me with a complex yet overwhelming sense of gratitude. And yet in my experience, if I don't put in the sober work on, for a lack of a better term, "sorting my shit out," I find that even psychedelics stop helping me directly feel antidepressant effects, and instead I'm being compelled to focus more intently and in a more disciplined manner on doing the work that needs to be done.

Fantasizing about having the dream garden is great and all, but unless you get your hands dirty it ain't gonna happen.
