Your mileage will almost certainly vary.
It changes people in interesting and unpredictable ways. Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse.
I know people who became much more grounded through their use of psychedelics. Others much less so.
- ipnon 5y agoSome changes are predictable. For instance most people will stop abusing drugs after strong psilocybin trips. See the work of Rolland Griffiths.

The opposite trend is less common but totally possible from personal observations. saying that a psychiatric procedure will result in specific changes would be stretching the truth from probably to necessarily. The first result I found in Google related to Griffiths is here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31084460/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31084460/ They are doing an anonymous online self selected reports and they find a strong effect but also 17% do not appear to exhibit the trend.
