Psilocybin Treatment for OCD?

Hi Everyone :)

I recently watched ‘how to change your mind’ on netflix (the psilocybin/magic mushroom episode) which started my delving into the clinical application of psychedelics as a potentially amazing treatment for OCD and the psyche in general when taken in the right way, with with the right care etc

I’m curios - has anyone tried this and what was your experience like?

I am from Australia and psilocybin has just been legalised as a treatment option for Treatment Resistant Depression & PTSD but not OCD yet so wandering where it would be possible to access aswell through legitimate medical facilities!

Hello - I've been curious about this too, but in my limited research, the effects of psilocybin may be limited when used while taking SSRI's or SNRI's. It is not yet legal in my country, so I haven't looked to far. I'm interested, but will likely wait until more research is done.

Not what you're looking for?
