Tim Ferriss and Psychedelics to Treat Depression

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by marketsurfer, Jan 15, 2016.

  1. Very interesting stuff! I went thru a manic-depressive period in my late 20's--30's and its very difficult for yourself and those around you. If you have never experienced it, you won't understand. The manic part was awesome for me, but bad for those close-- while the depressed part was terrible-- would just sleep for days-- etc... i can't even imagine folks who suffer from major depression---

    Maybe Tim is on to something??

    The answer is quite obviously yes. Psychedelics are the "cure" for many psychological illnesses, I believe it was in Norway where they either suggested or started treating alcoholics with LSD as all other treatments were a complete failure.

  4. now it all makes sense

    when you say price drivers, you're referring to the manic voices in your head

    Manics/BPD is not a "phase" You either are, or you're not. If you "had it" in your twenties... then you are BPD.

    I'm pretty sure I have read that the guy that founded AA used LSD for awhile and found it beneficial, or maybe enjoyable.
    Depression sucks, speaking from experience, and alcohol can seem like an easy answer, but man does it make it worse.
    Peace

    That's because you were a tractor driver who walked out into a world of Lamborghini drivers and freaked. If you know anything about Lamborghini there's a bit of humor in that statement.
