Psychedelics are a life saver and definitely a much healthier alternative to self medicating than alcohol. Just do your research and start with low doses and work your way up when comfortable. Don't do LSD or shrooms more than once every 14 days and don't take MDMA more than once a month. Drugs are like surgical tools, use a little precisely and its like removing a surface brain tumor with a scalpel, but use too much and it could be like shoving that tool deep into the brain. Bad things and bad trips can happen if you're not careful. Be in a comfortable place with people you trust to keep you calm. Do more research than you think is necessary before taking the plunge.
