How Does Psilocybin Help With PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder brought on by experiencing extreme stress or fear, and its symptoms can include:
-
Nightmares
-
Flashbacks
-
Anxiety
-
Intrusive thoughts
-
And many more
Symptoms of PTSD can resolve for many people, given enough time. However, others find that their symptoms become chronic and more debilitating due to an arrested “fear extinction process.
​
Psilocybin is known to help in the creation of new connections within the brain that can combat this issue by helping to:
-
Reduce fear responses
-
Process memories and emotions
-
Promote acceptance
