Longread: Psilocybin-assisted Therapy for Mental Health: A New Paradigm? Pioneering psychedelic research  We are living through a mental health crisis. Existing treatments barely scratch the surface of the problem, and have not translated into real world benefit for a huge number of people.  An estimated 1 billion people worldwide now live with a mental disorder, with depression affecting an estimated 264 million people of all ages around the world. It is the single biggest contributing factor to suicide, responsible, globally, for an estimated 800,000 deaths every year, and is the second most frequent cause of death among 15-29 year olds. In the UK, 30% of patients find existing therapies to be ineffective, with 1.2 million people suffering from treatment-resistant depression.
