Scientists test 'Magic Mushroom' drug on sleeping people to unlock mood boost

NCT ID NCT07360301

Summary

This study is testing whether psilocybin, the active compound in 'magic mushrooms,' improves mood and wellbeing. Researchers want to know if the benefits come from the psychedelic experience itself or from direct effects on the brain. Up to 120 healthy adults with sub-optimal wellbeing will receive psilocybin either while awake or asleep, and their mood and social connectedness will be tracked for about 4 months.
