Antidepressants vs. Shrooms: Big Brain News

Turns out, not all depression treatments work the same way in your brain! A new study found that while both escitalopram (an SSRI) and psilocybin (the magic mushroom stuff) can boost your mood, escitalopram tends to blunt your emotions—think feeling kinda numb. Psilocybin, though, helps you reconnect with your feelings without that emotional flatness. Both work, but the vibe is totally different. If you hate feeling emotionally muted on meds, this could be a game-changer! #MentalHealth #Depression #Psychedelics #Health
