Whilst this is really great and I hope Psilocybin can live up to the hype and be a viable treatment for depression, I don't think the cure to the current depression epidemic should necessarily lie in altering something as delicate as our brain chemistry. I think it is more important to identify and "fix" the causes:
o The move away from tribalism/communities/families toward living independently in big cities and the consequent loss of human contact
o The move toward online/machine interfaces for purchases/transactions/operations and the consequent loss of human contact
o Advertising/Social Media and the false illusions these create(other people are happier and lead more successful lives than us)
o Sedentary Lifestyle and unhealthy diet
o Any others?
