I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

Tried this, worked for me. Won't argue with anyone who didn't try, it's pointless.

Remember to turn your volume down when you're done watchin peeps

Psychedelic mushrooms definitely have the potential to deal with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, they really helped me.

Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back. These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.

Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.

"Mushrooms don't unlock depression, but shows you the key". This is the most powerful statement EVER! What a great speech.

I'm dosing .5 grams every 7 days. For the last 3 weeks. Feeling AMAZING!!!!! Depression is gone. Energy level is way up. Getting 6 to 8 hours of GREAT sleep. My OCD has calmed down. I have a " love" for everything again. Cluttered mind, is again fouced. After suffering 3 miscarriages in the last 2 years.. my mental health took a downward spiral. This is my 7th time the last 15 years that I have microdosed. I'm not longer on any meds for my PTSD, OCD & BPD. I was both shocked & amazed to find so much new information on this subject!!! Over 35 years of dealing with my mental health issues. I swear this is the one thing that works for me!

I was deperessed and when i tried mushrooms,i saw my depression as a scary beast.i went to a battle with the beast and defeated it.when i got sober, i was no longer depressed.

microdosing has helped me tremendously. From being unable to leave the house and being in bed 20 hours a day, I am now doing 150% workload of courses at university getting a degree in computer science.

Ironically, mushrooms gave me the information that doing psychedelic drugs just isn't enough to change your life. It told me that hard work and effort is really the only way to get to your goals. Simple and true message. The most sobering advice was given to me by my own brain tripping on drugs. You have to admire that.

Psilocybin mushrooms have been found to have great effects and could benefit those with depression and anxiety, but there's a big risk if you eat the wrong one

Have you ever had your best friend tell you it will be ok and that voice is you? That is psilocybin therapy.

psychedelics saved my life. helped me overcome addiction. and freed me from anxiety and depression.

I had an 8 year period where my good days were so infrequent i could count them on one hand, and I remember every single one of them. I just didn’t feel normal. It was like I didn’t experience life the same as others. Now after taking psylocybin I feel genuinely amazing. Sometimes I’ll be doing something so small and insignificant like driving to work and I’ll feel better than I did in years by just noticing things in the landscape or in a song I like. It’s hard to explain but it’s like a film was wiped off of life.

I can testify that mushrooms changed my life. Psyclosibin is life changing. We need medical authorities to implement this ASAP. I'm sick of waiting.

While I have tried ayahuasca and mescaline for spiritual growth, I have found that the only thing which really breaks though my emotional barriers is psilcybin. I've had very hardcore depression brought on from life circumstances, which I thought I would never be able to get out of, but a high dose of mushrooms and a hike in the mountains, essentially flooded my conciousness with pure universal love and instantly cured me of depression and rid me of my anxiety.

My name is Eldricht, i am an Eletronic Music producer, i have 21 years and have been stuck on depression since i was 15, after Psylocibin i am finally depression free.

I started to micro dose - and things immediately changed. It's exactly what she says: Feelings are unlocked, different pictures come up in dreams, perspectives change - and, because it's just a minor dose: changes are very decent, but obviously. I cry a lot and often those days - but it's relieving - a crying as an expression of self-understanding and a «let go» in a good way. My depressions are here, since I can remember; I tried everything - absolutely everything - psilocybin is the first thing that really helps. And till here, there are no side-effects.

11 dislikes from big pharma

the problem is there's to much money being made in keeping people sick vs curing them. thats why things like this are illegal. thats why true knowledge about health is so supressed. we need a revolution.

shrooms cured my depression. I started experimenting with high doses after reading research studies about it and i figured i had nothing to lose. changed my life! connects you to yourself and nature.

Suffering very hard. You guys gave me a lot of hope here in the comments. Thank you.

why is this the only ted talk where I have to set my computers loudest sound and still barely hear it.

if all mental health professionals where as open minded people might actually start recovering for a change, just happens that having patients on SSRIs for life is much more profitable.

I wanted to die then i did shrooms and life was pretty good after that

Nothing is better than nature at curing depression

mushrooms do work for depression! the times I took psilocybin were the most profound experiences in my life. I've heard that micro dosing (0.1g-0.4g) is a good way to be able to live your life in a heightened state of awareness and joy without actually tripping.

Really inspiring. Thanks to the people who dare pushing the boundaries.

I have been helped tremendously with the use of psychedelic mushroom, it helped me get over negativity and focus on a positive attitude and good sense of reasoning to my surprise this helped me go through the most difficult part of my life and to be sincere I’m glad I gave it a trial

Had depression for over a dozen years with intense periods and less intense periods. After having the most incredible trip on a high dose of mushrooms I feel like a whole new person. It feels like I was just drifting through life waiting to die and now I want to make the most out of every moment, every interaction. I love mushrooms and encourage everyone to try them. They couldn't be further from the image that the government has given them as dangerous recreational drug.

A combination of this and k worked wonders for me. Never suffer from depression even though there’s a family history and used to suffer terribly from it before I tried it.

3.5 grams did more for me than anything else. All the positive things she described, I experienced. I understand some people can have bad trips but this has been a game changer for me personally. No longer a struggle just to get out of bed or even take a shower. No longer procrastinating or constantly being late. Negative thoughts just go out like waves rather than come to me and stay. I'm more productive and happier. There's just a calm and steadiness that I never had before. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this treatment. Very grateful.

Turn on, tune in, turn up the volume. Great talk, much love!

I have suffered with CPTSD (makes PTSD look like a walk in the park), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), severe anxiety, and alcohol abuse for 17years stemming from childhood trauma followed by two combat tours in the military. I quit drinking 9 months ago and by doing so it was like looking under the hood to see the damage of the motor - it was bad. I then began to suffer horrendous OCD on top of the above mentioned conditions and symptoms. I have honestly been fighting thoughts of wanting to die. I have done every kind of therapy and pharmaceutical. 4 days ago was my first session with psylocibin. I have unpacked so much trauma from talk therapy over the years but the damage it has done has been immense and I thought it was permanent. After my first psylocibin session I could physically feel my brain tearing new positive and loving pathways in my mind, and I was torn out of years of trauma, I seen doors opening in my mind with terrifying hands trying to pull me in to investigate more of my past and in a HUGE moment of clarity I heard an empowered inner-voice say "there is nothing back there for you anymore" and it was like I had been lifted into the clouds connected to everything beautiful god has to offer, I was immediately laughing in a moment of freedom. Psylocibin gives you an introspective that is connected in clarity to your emotional state. With long term sufferers of poor mental health when we experience happiness we are scared of the darkness, when we are in the darkness we are scared of happiness because of the fear of losing it. We never truly get to experience inner-freedom. Psylocibin is the key, you are the master, but without this medicine thats been used for 3500 years some of us just will never reach this level of healing. By the afternoon of the following day after my first session my remunerating thoughts came back, so I used half the dose from the first sessions and now ALL symptoms are COMPLETELY gone. I never cry, but I cried because I can't believe I suffered for so many years without knowing about this. It has saved my life and given me a future.

Great stuff! Thank you for a well rounded overview

it works for me it changed my life

It is so insane to think that this is illegal. I've suffered from depression for 10 years, i developed an eating disorder as an attempt to deal with it and to be honest that was more effective than 4 years of therapy + 5 different kinds of antidepressants. A year ago I've been diagnosed with BPD, lowering the chances of getting "healed" by antidepressants. I don't really connect with myself and haven't felt joy in such a long time. I wish I could participate in a program like that.

Tried it. Changed my life for so much more better. Achieving high level of perfomance now in my live in all levels.

Feeling great relief, no longer suffering from addiction. My mood is increasingly more balanced. Feeling lighter than ever before. Thinking clearly and focused. Ready to start new beginnings!

I'm of the opinion that everyone should try it at least once (in the right environment, in the right mood & with the right people).

Great talk! I'm so happy that we are finally starting to harness the potential of these substances

thank you so much for this talk, never looked at it this way

..Rosalind...Thank you so much for posting this...

After doing psychedelics I feel like I'm a new person but have met this new self somewhere in the past as well. Reminding me of my forgotten self actually

Shrooms changed my life for ever, I was severely bullied as a child it had a negative impact on me for a long time, I carried the anxiety with me til my mid twenties, my early to late teens I suffered sever depression where I contemplated suicide on many occasions. I picked my first lot of shrooms in my mid twenties and took them on my own, around an hour into the trip things started getting intense and with it being my first time I didn't know what to expect so I turnd all the lights out and tried sleep it off, this was when I had a break through moment that I now know was an ego death trip!!!!! Things were crazy for a while but I went with it after a while and embraced it, the closed eyed visuals I seen we're off the scale absolutely amazing, at the end of the trip after I came to I messaged my mate I couldn't believe what I experienced words don't come close!!!!! I can honestly say my depression and anxiety has melted away and not experienced it since, I now go on the fields and pick liberty caps at least once a year in October-fri and I will continue to for as long as I can walk the fields, that first trip changed my life forever

Psilocybin has transformed my life for the better. I am now microdosing and have noticed huge improvements in my openness, productivity, creativity, presence, and loving connection to others

And here we are in 2019! Denver, Colorado and Oakland, California

I went on a mushroom motivational trip one time, quit cigarettes thanks to it. I’ve also heard many stories of other people quitting the same way. The trick is to get all the knowledge and try and transform it into good habits, without the need of constantly having to use them. I’m still learning how to apply that information into my own life, it ain’t easy specially coming from a negative upbringing. Mushrooms were a huge help to me and I feel like most people would benefit from them too.

I am absolutely thrilled that this kind of thing is being seriously studied. It's an utter shame that it hasn't been studied until very recently, but at least it IS being studied now and I think it will be great to see how powerfully helpful psychedelics can be for a number of applications.

Thank you so much, light....

Psilocybin makes people's compassionate ,loving & make them admire simplicity !!

Woooohooo!!! Oregon just passed measure 109. This is going to help so many people. Much love everyone.

This is great!

Lovely Message and such a grounded, embodied and Beautiful Presentation! Deeply appreciate your courage, authenticity and important message! May we all have access to the best health care available to us, drawing upon ALL healing traditions...What's beginning to be called "Convergent Medicine." Blessed BE!

Anyone administering outside of a clinical setting, please remember set and setting. I was careless about this aspect and ended up having a trip that left me more depressed, confused, and neurotic than ever.

I love how the slide didn't work and she just fuckin read it off the dome like a damn G. 👏🏼

Wow. The truth is finnaly out there. Well done humanity 😍😍

Rosalind I love you! We need more people like you chiefly in France!

The story is indeed captivating.... It is really an emotional story. But I actually learnt a lot from the video and from the psychologist.

I'm so glad that the stigma around psychedelics has been tapering off the last few years. Hopefully legalization within the next decade.

I was crying watching where she described what the experience is. God I want to try it and I will, I am confident that it will save me. Lovely lady she is.

Her voice is perfect

She is phenomenal

I just tried mushrooms for the first time the other day and I'm tearing up watching this... she nailed the descriptions

Oh man i hope so, im growing a bunch of them as we speak.

Wow that sounds amazing!

A beautiful talk

I’m doing a 90 day dopamine detox and then I’m eating mushrooms in the woods. I want a better life

Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space. It’s wonderful and the fact they serve recreational use and health as well. Can’t say I don’t trip once in a while.

She’s wonderful

After first time i took it, i felt great for a couple weeks, then took it again felt great for a few days then severe depression for a few weeks! I say we need more studies and more clinical proof.

Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source out here

I'm currently undergoing my own micro-dosing with MM. so far so good, less depression all around

When you tap in they respond. They really do change your perspective on a lot of things, and those a lot of things changed my life.

They saved my life. I haven't done them in years, but nothing else worked. I know there's something more to these things that we cannot fully comprehend.

Products of psychedelic mushroom like the chocolate bar and the rest you can get the best result with magic mushroom studies have proven the affective activity that psychedelic mushroom does to the mental stability of anyone, I remember an heartbreak that made me so sad but I got through it and now I’m happy and walking in royalty

Fight for Freedom!

Has worked fine for me so far.

Helped my mindset so much

Shrooms changed my life. I was at the beach and just saw a bunch of shapes and patterns and the beach turned into a Forrest and I ran into the Forrest, the clouds looked like ancient gods shinning light on me and the world seemed brighter. I saw rainbows and faces in the sky. Then a voice telling me to let go of the past because that person is dead and the new me doesn’t have anxiety or depression anymore. In my trip I died and was reborn. I been taking medications on and off and going to therapy for two years and nothing cured my postpartum depression. I was even hospitalized many times for anxiety attacks but all of those memories disappeared and I saw a light. Then once the hallucinations calmed down. I couldn’t stop laughing with my friend for hours. After it was over I didn’t feel depressed anymore or anxiety for the FIRST TIME. I was so happy I couldn’t stop crying. I was feeling suicidal and I decided to try something drastic and it seriously saved my life. No amount of therapy, religion, medication or anything on this planet would of done what shrooms did to me. I took 2grams and picked a gorgeous location and was with my best friend. Location and people is everything to make sure you have a good and beautiful trip.

Exercise, running, weight training, tennis, eating right & socializing as much as possible worked for me. If mushrooms are a miracle cure, then bring it on.

After years of depression and anxiety and just not fully being ME. I am ready to give this a try ..

Wow.. so compelling and powerful. I have experienced psilocybin many times in the past, and, after watching this video, am seriously considering trying again.

I met my demon on my first trip! I always had felt her presence but I never had seen her! She’s calm these days 🤝🧠❤️

One of the most brilliant things I've ever heard. I loved everything about her discussion

Yes more has to be done about this

bless you sister

i'm litterally crying from watching this. i don't exactly know why, but what those patients went through, i went through the exact same things during my psilocybin experiences. the rearranging of thoughts, feeling amazing, feeling incredibly sad. the incredible, indescribable catharsis i had every time i cried while at the peak of a trip only to find all the love the world had in store for me on the other side of that sadness. psychedelics are probably one of the most profound and beautiful experiences i ever had, no matter how bad it can get at times.

Growing up I lived by the basic status quo of mushrooms, how bad they were and what they can do to you etc. My family and I were big anti weed advocates but eventually getting older I made my own decisions and I started smoking weed myself. At first i saw it as a “fun drug” i would smoke with my friends and we’d all have a laugh, eventually I started to smoke before my cardio and I lived by this giant orchard, I would smoke and run for about half an hour and those trips were insanely eye opening. This was where I had my first “awakening”. My depression wasn’t as bad anymore and I didn’t contemplate suicide at all. Over the last 2 years I’ve been a big weed guy, but diving into these other psychedelics made me question how it can help me. I was interested in DMT but felt like i wasn’t ready, so I decided to start off with magic mushrooms, technically psylocibyn pills. My girlfriend and I took about 1200 mg of these pills and we waited for them to hit. It wasn’t until about 2 hours in we started feeling them. We were giggling and laughing, an hour later I felt the hard full effect. And oh my god I was bawling my eyes out. I was crying and crying and letting all the pain I had inside, so many deaths so many funerals I’ve been through I never actually processed my life. My gf was holding me and I felt so vulnerable. I let everything out and when I finally came to, for the first time in my entire life I heard, silence. I know it’s not crazy but I felt like there was always a voice messing with my head not letting me live my happiness.Those pills single handedly changed my conscious, my anxiety was thrown out the door, not a single ounce of depression and I felt reborn. Visually I didn’t see much BUT what I did see, to me was ASTOUNDING. I don’t know if anyone else would see this but I swear I saw these hieroglyphics, on my walls, couch, skin, floor etc etc. Looking closer I realized it was not only hieroglyphics but even tribal patterns, Arabic letters, Aztec patterns, and even like those long giant math equations you stereotypically see in movies. What these pills did for me in 8 hours , weed did in 2 years. I will always remember how I felt feeling that pain just drifting off with every single tear drop. It was such a deep experience I wish people erased the stigma of how bad they are. I would love it if my parents tried it with me even a small dose. I am a big believer now and i genuinely feel that if I had taken this years before my life would be in such a different place

It made me HAPPY!

had my first dose yesterday. i have been constantly fighting with my wife and being very angry. It opened my eyes to all the pain i have been causing and decide to change my outlook on line, we have had peace in the house this last week and hope it stays that way. please pray for me.

Psylociben is the most beautiful thing i ever experienced in my whole life, it showed me everything like a wise teacher and nature is billion times enhanced more beautiful and sharp nothing can ever simulate what happens and what u see its like you are awake again after a long sleep.

the magic of psilocybin has changed my life.

IM SO HAPPY THIS INFORMATION IS FINALLY BEING TAUGHT AND SHOWN TO THE NORMIES!!😎👍

Absolutely Yes.

Worked for me- I'm literally at a loss for words

Psilocybin has helped me to find hope in living my life! It’s a phenomenal ancient healing medicine

Wow I’m trying it after watching this I think I have almost everything she talked about, will keep you guys updated. Wish me luck

They should consider researching this subject in Oaxaca, MX. I believe VICE did a doc on how it's allowed in that part of the country.
