Magic Mushrooms Could Help Fight Depression

Getting high on a psychedelic drug extracted from "magic mushrooms" could help those who struggle with incurable depression, new research suggests.

Half of patients in a small pilot study of 12 people had reduced symptoms three months after taking psilocybin capsules.

While the study authors warn that it is too early to make strong conclusions about the use of the drug, it did show that more research was needed.

Lead author Dr Robin Carhart-Harris from Imperial College London said: "This is the first time that psilocybin has been investigated as a potential treatment for major depression.

"Treatment-resistant depression is common, disabling and extremely difficult to treat.

"New treatments are urgently needed, and our study shows that psilocybin is a promising area of future research.

"The results are encouraging and we now need larger trials to understand whether the effects we saw in this study translate into read more

Documentary reveals secret life of human pups

A NEW documentary takes a look at the hidden world of human pups: a secretive subculture of men who dress and behave like dogs. Why do they covet doggie treats, belly rubs and squeaky toys?

“Puppy play is definitely not about sex, it is a form of escapism,” says Kye, a 28-year-old Oxford graduate who enjoys dressing up as a dog, reports the Daily Mail.Channel 4’s Secret Life of the Human Pups focuses mainly on men like Kye but he says: “Females who are into pet play are usually into kitten play as they identify more with kittens than pups.”

The program also features the sad story of Tom, 32, a theatre technician from Tring, Hertforshire, who split up with his fiancee Rachel because of his yearning to dress up as a dalmatian.

He says: “You disappear and start chasing puppy toys. You go so deep into the head space, you crave it and want it. It’s just magic.”-read more

Mary Beard's Ultimate Rome: Empire Without Limit-bbc iplayer

Episode 1

Mary Beard's Ultimate Rome: Empire Without Limit Episode 1 of 4

In this first episode, Mary Beard reaches back to the myths and legends of the origins of Rome to gain an insight into the deep-rooted psyche of the people of Rome - a city born through fratricide and rape. But from the very beginning, Rome was also an asylum for outcasts and exiles and because of this, it adopted a uniquely inclusive approach towards its neighbours and defeated enemies. The expansion of the city brought territory in first in Italy and Sicily, where Rome first came head to head and eventually defeated her great rival, Carthage.

Mary then travels to Greece, where Rome adopted a complex mix of brute force and cultural cringe, and France, where she finds evidence of war methods akin to outright genocide. In typical myth-busting style, Mary argues that the period of greatest Roman expansion occurred when Rome itself was little more than a provincial backwater, a shantytown of mud and brick. The marble, monumental Rome we know came about because of imperial conquest - not the other way round. And likewise, the creation and possession of an empire transformed the politics of Rome forever, creating the conditions for one-man rule, and ending the centuries-old Roman Republic.link
