A new psychedelic-like wonder drug could treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorderwithout causing hallucinogenic tripping.
Psychedelics have long shown promise for treating a host of mental illnesses, and now scientists have identified a compound that provides only the benefits. Named AAZ-A-154, it has the potential to repair chemical pathways in the brain, say the US researchers. Study co-author Dr David Olson, a chemist at University of California, Davis, explained: One of the problems with psychedelic therapies is they require close guidance and supervision from a medical team A drug that doesnt cause hallucinations could be taken at home. Experiments using a fluorescent sensor called psychLight showed the new drug activates a gene that makes serotoninthe bodys feel good hormone. The most common antidepressants, such as Prozac, also work by triggering the serotonin 2A receptor. The study, published in Cell journal, found there is no hallucinogenic impact of AAZ-A-154and therefore no nasty comedown. Experts believe one of the advantages of psychedelic drugs is they promote neural plasticityallowing the brain to rewire itself. It opens the door to a medication that works in a single dose or a small number of doses, rather than having to be taken indefinitely. Mental illness affects an estimated billion people across the world, with depression being the most common typeblighting the lives of 250 million. But patients having to undergo a psychedelic trip raises ethical and health concerns. For example previous research has shown psilocybin, a constituent of psychedelic magic mushrooms, quickly reduces symptoms, but also causes side effects.

Do drugs really repair pathways in the brain like that? I always thought they could reset a brain from someone too stuck in one form of thinking and make them realize some shit
but that it can repair brains?? Naw. Id like to know if these scientists ever really taken drugs before tbh. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Modern medicine and advances in holistic practices are always a step forward and I sure hope this can start to replace gnarlier versions of the same drug with worse side effects, but I am just skeptical of shrooms in general being passed around as a 'cure' in any form since tripping is literal psychosis lol Like your mind can be even more fragile and prone to complete meltdowns of self to the point you sit there just spouting nonsense about God while rocking back and forth I mean, DID they really get rid of that side-effect? It's not like the hallucinations are any real - your thoughts ARE real though and all you have after you're done seeing pink elephants --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

That said, this type of thing is kind of a shot in the dark, like the majority of psychiatric medicine (as our understanding about the neural underpinnings of these disorders is shallow at best). Best to run with incidental findings when they come about (which is why ketamine has had such a mad dash as well). --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!
