Keri Hilson Says She Beat Depression With This Powerful Remedy

Keri Hilson has been open about dealing with depression over the last few years, and the singer says she’s found a somewhat unconventional “cure” for it. While chatting with Angie Martinez on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast, Hilson shared her experience trying research shows they may be useful in relieving symptoms of several mental health conditions.

Post-journey, Hilson said she has gained both clarity, “child-like wonder,” curiosity, and a sense of optimism.

“It doesn’t close chapters for you. You still got to work through things that are occurring.You still got to live your life,” she said. “You still feel, but I have never been in a dark place for long or as dark since then. Like I can confidently say that cured my depression.”

In addition to trying magic shrooms, the singer also attributed therapy, the retreats, and “building community” to helping her get out of that dark place.
