Marjane Beaugeois was diagnosed with severe depression in 2017. "Within two months, I lost my mother, grandmother, beloved pet dog and my romantic relationship," she recalls.
She couldn't eat, shower, or leave her house in Melbourne - but says prescription antidepressants left her "zombie-like, unable to cry, self-soothe or feel better".
"I'd still go to bed praying not to wake up," the 49-year-old says.
When her research for alternative therapies led her to a psilocybin clinic in Amsterdam, she was hesitant.
"I have no history of drug or alcohol use. As an addiction counsellor, I was always very against it," she says.

The drug and a key ingredient in magic mushrooms will be used nationally to treat PTSD and depression.
