It can help treat a range of issues: addictions, various traumas, depression, fears and anxieties. Also, it can be very dangerous for anyone with genetic predispositions to a range of mental health issues, such as bipolarism and schizophrenia, so anyone who is dealing with mental health issues ought to know their family history or get personally tested for the genetic markers.

They have genetic markers for all these? Any good test recommendations?

This is very serious.

My brother's schizophrenia started while I sat with him on the grass trying to comfort him after he had taken mushrooms.

This led to moment after moment of things that are difficult to for me to talk about. My family spent 3 Christmases at the state hospital to be with him. Thanks to the help he was able to get at the hospital and through continued care, he's now able to live with my parents.

Please be wise.
