Ask HN: What is the state of brain imaging to help depression?
1 comments
The brain imagining stuff doesn't look all that impressive.
The thing that seems to keep popping up by high quality sources is magic mushrooms curing depression.
In the now post-cannabis legalization world there's going to be political push for medical other drugs. So I take this psilocybin stuff with a grain of salt. Yet it's hard to discount these quality sources and surprisingly results.
I've never done 'shrooms' so I can't speak to any personal experience but it does get me curious.

I'm curious about: 1. the current state of brain imaging technology to accurately identify solutions to help a depressed person 2. what are the blockers to allowing individuals to analyze their own brain state with at-home technologies?
Thank you.
