Mental health means the psychological, social, and emotional well-being of a person. It affects how a person feels, thinks, or acts. It also helps analyze how an individual makes choices, handles stress, and relates with other people.
Getting disturbed mentally is a common problem and can happen due to many reasons like:
● Family history
● Childhood trauma
● Life-threatening disease
That’s why doctors recommend certain drugs like Serotonin, psychedelics, or psilocybin to reduce the effect of mental problems. Bright Minds Bio is a drug development company that produces such types of drugs. It has a team of experienced biotechnologists who have gained industry trust with their work.
Here’s how each drug can affect your mental condition:
Serotonin
Nerve cells produce a chemical called Serotonin. It is responsible for sending signals between nerve cells. It is mostly present in the digestive system, but it’s present in the central nervous system. So though most of it is present in the digestive system, it works beneficial for the whole body.
It can affect every body part, from your motor skills to emotions. It’s also termed the natural mood stabilizer. This chemical helps in eating, sleeping, and digesting. It can help to do the following:
● Regulate anxiety
● Regulate depression
Here’s how it can affect your mental health:
Mood
Serotonin present in the brain regulates mood, anxiety, and happiness levels. When this chemical is present at low levels, it can disturb or rise to the above problems.
Sleep
Proper sleep is needed for the brain to function normally. Lack of sleep can lead to insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Serotonin helps get a good night’s sleep so that no mental problems arise.
Psilocybin
Psilocybin can promote positive lifestyle changes and work as a treatment for depression. In addition, patients seeking treatment for depression significantly reduced their symptoms after consumption of psilocybin.
The common side effects like drowsiness, dry mouth, and sexual dysfunction seen in other antidepressants are not seen in patients who consumed psilocybin. Basic symptoms like headache can be noticed, but it’s better than having symptoms of depression.
Therapy is also given along with drugs to get the patient completely out of mental health problems. Psilocybin is used for intoxication too. It gives hallucinogenic effects within the first 20 minutes of consumption and disappears in a few hours.
With sensory perception abnormalities like anxiety or depressive disorders, mental conditions are treated using psilocybin. There are no long-term side effects of psilocybin. Compared to other drugs for mental conditions, psilocybin is proved to be the most beneficial.
Psychedelics
Psychedelics consist of a number of drugs produced for mental health. Psychedelics can have a powerful effect in reducing the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Psilocybin and Serotonin come under psychedelics.
BrightMindsBio is said to produce psychedelic drugs to improve their patient’s condition. Psychedelics can be given on their own by doctors or with a combination treatment like therapy, depending on the condition.
