Howdy. So, you're not wrong. The promise of psychadelic use in therapy is not that it "cures" the patient of their depression, or even gives them relief. The drug is not the drug. The "drug" is the experience that they allow the patient to have. You talk about modern humans lacking connectivity, proper diet, connection with nature, meaning---the psychadelic in question allows your brain to observe it's own memories, emotions, desires, and traumas more objectively and allows a perspective where change is possible. The default paths your brain takes when making decisions are obscured or flattened out, so you have more possibilities. If someone has depression, guilt, and ruminates on trauma psychadelics allow you to confront that trauma without the manufactured personality our ego has created to deal with the trauma. Viewing something objectively, or even subjectively but from a different perspective can vastly alter your "sober" perspective of that trauma / event / emotion. tl;dr: Think of psychadelics as a tool that can allow the mind to introspect objectively
