Psilocybin for 'treatment-resistant depression': an island of hope in an ocean of uncertainty? https://www.nationalelfservice.net/?p=170490

RCT published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy may help reduce depression in people with severe and enduring illness, but side effects are common and more research is needed to look into longer term effects.

I’ve been struggling a lot the past few days. Things are rough. Feeling kind of hopeless… #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #NEISvoid

It seems like the Seroquel is kicking in a little. My mood is a tiny bit better, and I have more energy. I’ve been getting a lot more done in a day. I’ve only been on it for a week, so hoping there is more improvement to come. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #Seroquel

High pain day today. The Seroquel is still making me sleep a lot more than usual, and whenever that happens, it really fucks with my back. I did manage to shower and get grocery shopping done though. I feel like I should be cleaning, but my body is saying nopeeee so far. Mood is still very low, anxiety is still very high but seems a teeny, tiny bit better today overall. I will take any improvement! #Seroquel #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #ChronicPain

It’s been a rough week. One hospital visit, another med change and lots of PTSD nightmares. I’m finally back on Seroquel though, and tapering off Abilify. Fingers crossed that it starts helping with my mood and such soon. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #PTSD #Seroquel

Coming up with a daily schedule including meaningful activities is so hard for me. I keep getting stuck, and super anxious. But I do seriously need to add meaningful activities to my life. My clinician was absolutely right when she said I have a lot of free time on my hands and that it’s making my thoughts and depression worse. #ExecutiveDysfunction #ADHD #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression

Being discharged from the hospital in an hour or so. They’re going to up my Abilify in the hope that it will help my depression. Still feeling pretty hopeless, but going to try to stick around to give the upped Abilify a try… #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #Abilify

I had my psych appt and very narrowly missed a hospital admission. I think she’s actually pretty concerned though, because she wants to see me THIS TUESDAY. I think the closest together my appointments have ever been is 2 weeks. And she doesn’t think the Abilify is helping, so she’s putting me back on Anafranil and she said she’s going to fast track it by upping the dose every 3 days until I’m at my dose I was on before. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #Abilify #Anafranil

My Lithium was lowered again today. In a week, I will be off it completely. Still anxious about decreasing and coming off it. Also, have to go grocery shopping in a bit and am panicked. It’s going to be busier than I’m used to bc I usually go during the week, but couldn’t since I’ve been sick. I’m glad I have Ellie to help me, but dealing with the general public is hard. Anxiety is high, mood is still low and finding motivation is hard. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #AnxietyDisorder

I had blood work and an ECG done today. Hope everything comes back normal, because I really don’t need more problems during this fucking crazy time. And I started a behavioural activation group for depression yesterday, which went alright-ish. I struggle with groups a lot due to multiple severe anxiety disorders. Had a panic attack the entire 2 hours. The group is once a week for a few months. I hope it helps. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #SocialAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder

I realized yesterday that it’s actually 4 meds I’m coming off of at once. Yikes. And I’ve taken 2 doses of my new med so far. Mood is still very low, anxiety is very high, and I have no energy. Plus I’m feeling a lot more overwhelmed in general. I’m trying to focus on Ellie’s upcoming birthday and planning for that, because it’s the only thing I’m really looking forward to. But better than nothing at all. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #Anxiety

I just got my meds from the pharmacy. I started Abilify this morning, and stopped taking Lithium. I’m very anxious about both of those changes. And hoping I don’t have any side effects from the Abilify. I haven’t slept at all. And I’m still sick. I feel awful. #TreatmentResistantDepression #Depression #Abilify #AnxietyDisorder

Really not doing well. Should hopefully be starting my Abilify tomorrow (my pharmacy still didn’t have it ready in time for this AM, which is when I’m supposed to take it). Everything is so overwhelming. My mood is completely down in the dumps. I’m only living for my animals at this point. I can’t function. #NEISVoid #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #MentalIllness

@jahleesu I'm trying to understand what line you are using to divide your condition with that of others.

Are you talking about the difference between #treatmentresistantdepression and forms of #depression that can be aided by means of therapy?
