Is there any literature in their efficacy in treating anxiety disorders? As somebody who's suffered from severe anxiety since my mid-teens and had it cleared up more or less from medication I'm extremely interested in seeing how Psilocybin would affect the disorder. I would be quite willing to try it out but I'm very hesitant because I suspect my underlying anxiety would undermine the experience and possibly leave me in a worse off state than before.

Hey, so... I've got pretty severe PTSD from my experiences in combat. Loads of anxiety. I have to tell you since you made this point, that mushrooms specifically have helped me so tremendously to manage the anxiety. The way I describe it to other veterans (to encourage its use among people suffering from these disorders) is that mushrooms help ground me by providing a safe, chill, unique experience that I can later use as a point of reference when my anxiety gets bad. Make sure you know what you are putting into your body, don't take too many, don't eat them in a strange environment (a quiet weekend night in your living room is a good place), and only do mushrooms with someone you know and trust (and who has experience with the experience). You will thank yourself for doing it. It will change your life for the better if you follow those simple guidelines.

Yes, psilocybin will help. An ex-girlfriend of mine had severe anxiety problems after being sexually abused, and one of our earliest memories together was taking 3 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cubensis) during a hike to Half Dome in Yosemite. She underwent a transformative experience that day, not only overcoming her anxiety problems but also her fear of snakes (we saw several rattlesnakes at an uncomfortably close distance to us) and her fear of heights/fear of falling. While I wouldn't recommend taking psychedelics in a dangerous situation or during strenuous exercising, taking psychedelics in the right situation can be transformative to those with deeply-rooted mental issues.
