I`m not an expert on this, but doing mushrooms really helped me with my depression. Whether it changed my brain chemistry, simply killed a bunch of brain cells, or changed my sub-conscious perspective, or a combination of all of those, I`m not sure, but it defiantly had a profound positive effect on me. Well I can`t say for sure that mushrooms will affect you in the same way, or in a positive way at all, but when I was super depressed and suicidal though I saw a councilor and they helped me get through a shit ton of stuff so I also suggest you do the same. Even talking to anybody a close friend or somebody you trust can help a lot more than you might realize, you just have to go for it. Even if you just want somebody to talk to shoot me a message cause I know what it`s like to be alone and it can be near impossible to get past some things alone.

Thanks for the insight man! I learn something new every day. I did know that some synthetic drugs change your brain chemistry in some ways, like the amount of certain chemicals in your brain and the way neurotransmitters are distributed, but I wasn’t sure if this was the case with mushrooms.

I respectfully disagree with you on the emotional trauma front. The reason being is that post-traumatic stress disorder is actually responsible for reduction of the hippocampus (a response indicating the brain trying to block out traumatic memories), and severe change in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, which cause over-exaggerated and irrational fear and anxiety responses to stimuli not even relating to the trauma.

Long story short, in some cases, emotional trauma can actually change the composition of some parts of the brain.

Drugs certainly change how compounds produced by the brain are produced but not for a significant length of time. Every compound you take has a half life meaning it depletes to nothing in a certain time. I know of no drug that will permanently affect brain function.

I believe heavy bouts of stress and depression can do that anyway. It doesn’t have to be the result of a trauma, I don’t think. What many do not realise is that depression affects every aspect of the body and mind, it is much more complex than a low mood and maybe a few imbalanced chemicals in the brain. For example; most people are shorter when depressed, because you tend to tense up and stoop a little. And if you were to take an IQ test during an episode of depression, you would likely obtain a score 10 points or more lower than your normal score. You become restricted in so many ways and often don’t even realise it
