I was part of a clinical trial for psilocybin use for BD2 where I was given psilocybin under observation. I was severely depressed at the time and the experience itself was miserable, just amplifying obsessive thoughts. In the long term it didn’t hurt but I personally would not do it again when severely depressed. But the PI said many participants had good results.

That was my experience taking psilocybin as part of a study on BD2. Amplified my obsessive negative thoughts and was a miserable experience. I’d try psilocybin again but never while severely depressed.
