Liam Payne to trial magic mushrooms for depression treatment
Steven said he and Liam Payne are speaking everyday as the singer gets urged to invest in ATAI Life Sciences
Liam Payne is treating his depression by experimenting with a new ingredient that helps people tackle the mental health disease.
The singer joined hands with Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett to trial the use of some elements of magic mushrooms that could treat people with depression.
Steven claimed during the British Podcast Awards that he and Payne are speaking everyday as the singer gets urged to invest in ATAI Life Sciences.
“There are clinical trials going on at the moment using one of the psychedelic compounds called psilocybin. It is a compound that is found in magic mushrooms.”
“It unlocks your subconscious, as much of what causes resistant depression and depression generally isn’t that you have something like a melt in your brain, it is more to do with something that has happened to you,” the entrepreneur went on to say.
“What we are pushing for is for it to be legal in clinical settings – not for it to be legal out on the streets,” he added.
