Health - can lsd cure depression ?

[someonewim]

swim wants to know if anyone has been depressed or in a less happy time in their lifes, and a lsd trip helped to "fix" it?
relate swim experiences

to directly answer the question, yes. at one point in his life swim was moderately depressed for a few weeks and after a very nice experience with lsd his overall "blah" feeling seemed to be completely lifted (at least temporarily). BUT, its a double-edged sword because as swiy may have heard, dosing while youre depressed is probably not a good idea, as it can easily lead to a bad trip ( <---not fun ). lsd can be a very unpredictable drug, theres no way to say for sure how it will affect swiy, regardless of what mindset you have.

Hello SWIy. First post and SWIy is SWIMMING already. Excellent. Yes LSD can and has helped depression. For SWIM he felt better both from resolving things and seeing the world in a new way. So yes. But SWIM also says that he is depressed right now and has been for a while. But he knows why he is depressed. So he would not take LSD now because it would be a bad choice. So SWIM would say if someone had simple depression for no good reason then LSD would be good. But if someone had major issues causing the depression SWIM would say it might be a mistake. Those issues possibly should be resolved before taking LSD. Also SWIM believes that years ago they were thinking of using LSD for depression but SWIM does not remember the specifics. Also LSD has been used on patients with terminal disease to improve their outlook on life with success. Better outlook has been reported. SWIM is unclear if LSD will "straighten out" the synapses in chemical depression (If there is such a thing)

very good point

SWIM can't say he's happier directly from taking LSD. But as a result of doing so, his appreciation of nature and everything natural has grown exponentially, as has his sense of empathy.
It's really a longer story (everyone has their own tale), but to reply shortly - yes LSD has changed SWIM for the better.

definatley yes.
Any spriitual/energy healing will reveal depression, anxiety and even physical illness (which is often caused by mental/spiritual illness) and LSD is one of the great spiritual and energy healers.
swim values her lsd experiences over all others, swim has never healed and progressed in such a large profound an significant way so quickly as after LSD.

[tip]

LSD works best with yoga, meditation or ti chi any Asian Buddhist spiritual practices enhanced with LSD are a great benefit as LSD expands what is there and these reality manifesting types of healing go hand in hand with the cid.
