Depression is the leading cause of mental health disability worldwide—and it affects more than 300 million people, according to the World Health Organization. Depression robs people of their joy in life, reduces life expectancy by an average of 10 years & results in nearly 800,000 suicides annually. That's one reason we support psychedelic-assisted therapy, which top U.S. research institutions have shown to be effective for the treatment of PTSD, depression, end-of-life-anxiety & addiction.
