Definium Therapeutics (DFTX.O), opens new tab said a single dose of its LSD-based experimental pill ?significantly reduced symptoms of major depression in patients in a late-stage ?trial, sending its shares soaring 55% to a more than four-year high on Monday.
...
The pill, DT120, belongs to a ?class of drugs known as classic psychedelics, which temporarily alter perception, mood ?and thinking. It is a pharmaceutical formulation of lysergide, better known as LSD, ?and works by activating serotonin receptors in the brain.



You're going to have telehealth therapists prescribing pharmaceutical grade LSD soon. What a time to be alive.

Rather that than all the self-medicating with weed.

LSD/psilocybin(mushrooms)/ketamine are the future of depression treatment and they work. Really, really well.

I mean if depression sets in why not a little LSD to see things differently. Side effects include hallucinations, staying up all night(it's a party) and a rash ( I made that up) count me in.

Cary Grant swore by it with helping him reconcile his fame with his troubled family history. That was before it became the psychedelic recreational hippie drug.

Really disappointed to hear that the government is letting “sad” people get high on illegal drugs and making safe effective medicines illegal basically


My cousin is on disability for fibromyalgia and when he has the treatment for it he lives a normal life and can go work his job as a charter captain but when he doesn’t have the medicine he gets so sick he can barely get out of bed, he can’t eat and can’t hardly get off the toilet and has cold sweats. To see what fibromyalgia will do to a healthy man is heart wrenching


The worst part is that the government has made it so hard to get the treatment he needs to stay alive. He has to go to like 8 different doctors to get the OxyContin he needs just to live

My late SO had severe treatment depression. She had surgery after a car wreck and when she woke up she felt better than she had in years. My theory is she had some ketamine in her anesthesia.

Id like to see specifics on the trial, and how was administered; placebo, etc, but this sounds promising.

They were the teens and young adults taking it back in the 60s and 70s.


They aren't the ones that made it illegal. And a boomer just rescheduled marijuana.
