No, but in a time of significant grief, psychadelics allowed me to process it in a completely different way. I made more progress in 6 hours than I'd made in 4 years with 2 of those in therapy. There's no deep universal truths to uncover, but depending on your mental health, there may be some deep personal blockages that can be... sidestepped?
I used recreationally a few times as well. Mixed results there, including one that sent me on a tailspin for a few months. Absolutely, use with care, with a good sitter, and mind your set and setting.

Suddenly I snapped out of the depressive spiral, and saw my surroundings and myself very clearly. It’s very hard to describe. It’s like being severely depressed and miserable, and then all of a sudden a snap of fingers you feel relief. The feeling of depression evaporates. For days or even weeks afterward, waking up with something I look forward to, and I bounded out of bed instead of dreading what was to come. Truly life-changing for me.
