Shrooms are definitely dangerous, especially for people who are prone to schizophrenia I've read.
Personally, they made me realize my mind is capable of being content. No longer full blast, spinning plates all of the time.
That experience made me realise change is possible, and I got professional help a year later. Turns out I've been living in C-PTSD since I was 5.
5-HTP serves me well. It's got a similar serotonin impact without the tripiness of shrooms.
