Psilocybin combined with psychotherapy shows significant efficacy in treatment-resistant depression

There is an urgent need for new and more effective treatments for depression. The results of a recent study show that psilocybin, an active compound found in certain mushrooms, can have a significant antidepressant effect. For the treatment to be successful and safe, it is important that it be integrated into a psychotherapeutic program that includes both pre- and post-treatment support.
