Personally, my bias would be that I have attempted to use mushrooms to attempt to overcome depression with certain increaments of success. What really helped me more, is martial arts and true training in awareness, however. I realized after a while, that perhaps mushrooms have very little to do with conquering depression, but rather illustrating your thoughts in very radical and scary ways.

What I always found, is that hallucinogenics will bring you face to face with the things you don't like about yourself. In a sense, it shows you the truth, and what is more scary to humans than the things they try so hard to pretend aren't there?
Drug abuse, to me, is using them as painkillers, to try and avoid the things you don't want to think about, which is why you hear about people you know freaking out on LSD more than other drugs...its a cold hard mirror.
However, you can get to the same place without these substances.
