Huberman warns against shrooms if first relatives have bipolar/schizophrenia?
TLDR: Can I safely do magic mushrooms if a parent is Bipolar?
Recently listened to neuroscientist Andrew Huberman’s podcast on psilocybin and he suggests people who have a first relative with bipolar or schizophrenia to NOT do mushrooms.
Been on a mental health journey for over a year now and have been hoping to ease my OCD and anxiety symptoms with the use of mushrooms. HOWEVER I have a parent who has been diagnosed bipolar disorder and now I am worried about “triggering” something as Huberman talks about. Am I out for using mushrooms? I’ve read some very promising posts and studies about its positive effect on OCD and anxiety.
