Magic mushroom experiences among people with bipolar disorder

Press/Media: Article/Feature

Description

Research co-led by Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) researcher Dr. Emma Morton is the first to characterize psilocybin use and impacts among people with bipolar disorder (BD) — a brain condition that causes extreme mood swings and altered behaviour. Published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, the findings from Morton’s research offer both a promising and cautionary tale of the potential therapeutic use of psychedelic mushrooms to treat BD.
