Fagsworth is correct in a semantic sense, however there needs to be respect of the process of healing. It isn't a magic bullet, where you take them, have a trip, and are suddenly a different human being. This can, and certainly does, happen. However, psychedelic experiences leading to profound introspection can sometimes exacerbate the symptoms. The ego, when exposed, is a very sensitive construct and can sometimes take a while to re-establish itself. An example: You are a nice, caring person... But you can be a supremely arrogant jerk on occasion. You take mushrooms, and have an hour of uncomfortable dissonance on the negative effects of your arrogance. You discover a new way to look at yourself, that completely alters your outlook on yourself as a human partaking in the human experience. But, this hurts a little because you feel ashamed and embarrassed. This isn't something that may help you somersault out of bed the next day, but once you understand what you learned you may find yourself being more compassionate in the long run.
