SSRIs vs Microdosing: The Science Explained 🧠

Mental illness is rising faster than ever, affecting over 57 million adults in the U.S.

In 2021 alone, nearly 29 million SSRI prescriptions were written, making them one of the most common treatment options. Yet despite their widespread use, SSRIs pose significant challenges—from unwanted side effects to limited effectiveness, especially for those with treatment-resistant conditions.

Enter: Microdosing

Over 4 million Americans microdosed psilocybin in 2024. This emerging approach is rapidly gaining momentum as a promising alternative, with neuroscience beginning to uncover how—and why—it may offer new hope.
