Insisting that the reality a depressed person experiences is "reality" is myopic.
How many filters affect your experience that you're completely unaware of? Tons!!! What is really real, and how can you ascertain what's "reality" and what isn't?
Now, the way I think of psychedelics (and the way they worked for me) was that they removed a shroud — a bad filter, if you will — from my depressed mind. I was at -2 exposure, and with the help of psychedelics and a psychologist I was able to get back to right around 0.
Now, I'm actually able to appreciate "reality", or at least what I see of it. What's wrong with that?
