 The effects of psilocybin differ significantly from those of a few beers on weekends. Psychedelic experiences are characterized by profound alterations in perception, thoughts, and emotions, often accompanied by a sense of interconnectedness and a heightened state of consciousness. These experiences can lead to deep introspection, emotional breakthroughs, and a new perspective on life.In terms of long-term benefits, research suggests that a single or a few experiences with psilocybin can have lasting positive effects on mental health. For example, studies have found that psilocybin-assisted therapy can lead to sustained reductions in depression and anxiety for up to six months or more after treatment. It's important to note that these studies have typically involved a structured therapeutic setting with trained professionals guiding the experience.Regarding individuals who have attempted suicide multiple times, psilocybin-assisted therapy may offer a potentially valuable treatment option. However, it's crucial to emphasize that the therapeutic use of psychedelics should be conducted under the guidance of trained professionals in a controlled and supportive setting. These professionals can help ensure the safety of the individual and provide appropriate integration support after the experience.It's important to recognize that while psychedelic therapy shows promise, it should not be considered a standalone solution for mental health issues. It is most effective when integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that may include therapy, counseling, and other evidence-based approaches.If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues or has a history of suicide attempts, it is strongly recommended to seek professional help from a qualified healthcare provider. They can provide personalized guidance and support based on the individual's specific circumstances.

That being said I would suggest a moderate dose (2g) of psychedelics followed by a month of micro dosing and observe if there is any change

Just to confirm, for experts Dr's and moderators?  Does this stuff actually work for mental health in long term or basically just the same as a few beers on weekends? Will this actually work for someone who tried to commit suicide more than once?  I can't go into details but honest advice without sales talk will be appreciated 

Drinking alcohol dumbs you down and people often abuse it to temporarily block whatever problems they have instead of facing them. It does not solve anything whatsoever and always makes matters worse. It is the cowardly coping mechanism in my opinion. Psychedelics, when used properly have the opposite effect as alcohol... they allow one to view situations from a different perspective, enhances consciousness and boosts creativity.

You can't go into detail, so we don't know what the underlying problems are exactly so I'm just going to speak in general and not give specific advice. For psychedelics to be most effective the person also has to be willing to face their problems and put in the effort to overcome them. Usually when someone decides to commit suicide it is due to some from of nihilism which can be from an infinite number of causes and identifying those causes is good place to start. You cannot overcome your problems if you don't know what they are and to people in a nihilistic state it is not always apparent what their problems are. The heightened state of consciousness and alterations in perception from psychedelics may help the person identify their problems. Using the boost in creativity from the psychedelics to create something that is meaningful is a very effective way to escape nihilism. Reducing consumption of destructive addictions such as social media, unconstructive entertainment (TV, YouTube, Netflix), porn, alcohol, some habit forming pharmaceuticals and drugs will help prevent the person from getting dragged back down into the nihilistic state as well.

There are a number of philosophic studies the person can pursue such as Stoicism to cope with the struggles of life and change their negativity into positivity. The difference between "happiness" and nihilism is only how one perceives reality and psychedelics can be very a helpful tool to change one's perception into a positive one.

For me I spent 7 years on every psychiatric medication. Fast forward, lots of stuff done, up until recently I used micro dosing of golden teachers daily, I found this worked best for me for ADHD / lifting mood / working on my ego (the biggest benefit) but none of this works on its own, it just lifts the ego to the point that you can go back and look at those belief systems you have and ask yourself can you maybe see things another way. Overall with mushrooms, surfing and mindfulness I am a 180 degree different person than who I was. It works, and I did all my work through my psychiatrist as we worked out doses and what medication we can remove to get me to where I am.
