Research study about experiences of using psilocybin or 'magic mushrooms' for mental health and wellbeing purposes

Description

Participants needed for research! Have you ever used psilocybin or magic mushrooms for your mental health?

I am conducting a research project exploring people’s experiences of using psilocybin (the psychedelic component of ‘magic mushrooms’) for mental health and wellbeing purposes.

Participants must be 18+, fluent in English and able to do an online interview. This study is not looking into experiences of microdosing.

Participation would involve one online interview, lasting approximately one hour, in which I would ask people about their experience of using psilocybin to support their mental health and wellbeing. In particular, I am interested in how people understand and make sense of any changes they may have noticed in the problems affecting their mental health.
