A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

You own your brain in the same sense that you own modern devices, you own it but also can't really modify it and there is some closed source shit that really control it (self.showerthoughts)

From the article you linked.

researchers report that the substantial antidepressant effects of psilocybin-assisted therapy, given with supportive psychotherapy, may last at least a year for some patients.

So, essentially what I said. There is a difference between an anti-anxiety or anti-depressive drug and a drug that's useful in therapy to treat anxiety or depression.

Anti-depressive and anti-anxiety drugs function on their own, but only so long as the drug is active in your system. Psychedelics allow self reflection to enhance traditionally non-drug therapies. They can even lead to the exact opposite results when used in an improper mind set or setting.
