Hello from cancer family.
It indeed decreases. When my spouse was diagnosed, they prescribed her anti-depressants. We replaced them with psilocybin. Never taken any anti-depressants.
We had a very serious case with multiple surgeries, chemos, radiations. Not one, not two, and not ten or even twenty. MORE than that.
The treatment still goes on, soon it is gonna be 5 years. With ZERO anti-depressants. And I've learnt how to grow them, not buying them.
So we don't need studies, we tested it the hard way, and it works :) I can talk about it for hours.
I am sorry about the situation and hope it goes well. Hang in there.-
