Yes, probably, says a growing number of people. David Eberhard invited psychologist and psychedelics expert Filip Bromberg to clarify the research situation. Eating magic mushrooms or using Ayahuasca can probably make you feel better, if you do it in the right way, under very controlled conditions.

The research is funded by the Osmond Foundation, which includes Niklas Adalberth, one of the founders of Klarna. https://www.osmond-foundation.org
