100%. They can be correlated, try an elimination diet. Let go of allergens like gluten, soy, corn, dairy. Then slowly implement them one by one and see if any make a difference to your levels of anxiety. I’d suggest to do it for at least 10 days of none then 1 week add, one then see if you feel any difference.

Also, the brain and the gut are connected by the vagus nerve. What you eat makes a huge difference to what you think/feel.

It's IBS.

Hyperthyroidism often means over-the-top anxiety. Anxiety is caused by too much cortisol. Every disease that impacts the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis causes anxiety.

? If anything the article focuses more on the pros than cons of personal use and highlights how therapists should be able to be open about talking about their lived experiences

This is a puff piece trying to stigmatize psychedelic use amongst researchers. The purpose is to limit the research in academic settings, but failed to sample corporate researchers. They also had an alarmingly small sample. This may be because of the disclosure at the end of the "research"

"Author Disclosure Statement

J.D.W. has been a paid consultant for Silo Pharma and Filament Health."

These companies are trying to patent specific species of mushrooms to corner the psychedelic market.

Edit for clarity.

I am a psychology student trying to initiate research into psychedelic therapies. I cannot readily do that research because only a very small handful of universities are permitted to do so, and under extremely controlled conditions.

Dude, the UK care commissioning body recommends hypnosis for IBS. It's absolutely treatable for many people. You don't have to go that route.

I mean... what else would create it?

Exactly, when white people are poor they deserve it, when black people are poor it's racism. Irrefutable. I mean, haven't you heard the great slam poetry scholarship of the invisible knapsack /u/effortnonono

How can companies improve current drugs or research new technologies if they dont make profit? How can the government afford to fund research in biomedical science if it doesnt get any profit from taxes?

This means that in a government only funded research world with no “profit”, the “profit” to conduct research will be taken from tax payers.

Literally at the square one again, the only benefit is less price gouging, but theres less freedom in research. And clinical trials still cost billions of dollars.

Actually it sounds like withdrawal. Alcohol relieves anxiety, your body adjusts and now requires alcohol to handle anxiety when it didn’t before.

Self-medication implies the problem was there before the drinking go started. A lot of people get addicted to things like weed and alcohol by mistaking withdrawal symptoms for personal symptoms that the drug is actually helping.

Everything stems from our evolution;

1. If we experience anxiety, does it benefit our survival to increase our heart rate?

2. If we experience an increased heart rate, does it benefit our survival to generate anxiety?

I think 2 is obvious, an increased heart rate is a problem, making us anxious about a problem has clear benefits.

However, I can't discredit 1 either, because increased heart rate and blood flow and adrenaline could all be part of a package (I don't understand this part at all myself).

Of course, it could be both.

Yeah let’s not encourage people that we don’t know to take benzodiazepines. They are overprescribed as it is and we are on the verge of an epidemic.

I know you’re just trying to help, but I don’t know if this is the move

I've been collecting microbiome-related studies as of late. The body itself - not just the brain or the mind - absolutely alters or even creates certain psychological states. Anecdotally, I've found that taking a couple of grams of GABA on an empty stomach is a way to evoke the way "body anxiety" feels, likely because the body overzealously pushes out the excess GABA , leaving a momentary shortage (localized to the neuron clusters in the gut because dietary GABA cannot readily pass the blood-brain barrier). The sensation is distinct and can be recognized, helping one overcome it by compartmentalizing it once it's identified.

Here's a relevant study relating to IBS specifically posted here a couple of days ago:

>New research establishes a link between irritable bowel syndrome and mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation --

>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11845-022-03258-6

And semi-related:

>Regular use of laxatives is associated with more than a 50% increased risk of developing dementia --

Pinging /u/Ok-Cut4890 too.

Or maybe profit extraction on lifesaving drugs should be illegal and relevant patents should be public domain, so any government and organisation can produce and distribute them at cost at maximum.
