The study provided a rare insight into how drugs like psilocybin can offer lasting relief for mental health disorders by impacting the brain's sense of self.
Psilocybin affects the hippocampus, similar to how antidepressants target the brain to interrupt negative thought loops associated with depression.
Psilocybin remains illegal in most of the US but was approved by the FDA in 2018 as a 'breakthrough therapy' for clinical trials to treat severe depression.
