A Psychedelic Cure for Fear of Death?How psilocybin helps patients confront mortality.

From the show

Psychedelic Mind

For patients with a life-threatening cancer diagnosis, a single high dose of psilocybin can offer profound relief. Combined with psychotherapy, this treatment produces substantial and sustained decreases in anxiety and depression, helping people reframe their perspective on life and death. The therapeutic effects are strongly linked to the mystical-type experience induced during the session. Months later, most participants still report increased feelings of life meaning, quality of life, and optimism.
