MICRODOSING AND HAPPINESS CASE STUDY Author Ayelet Waldman suffered from severe depression that began to overwhelm her during perimeno- pause. She felt it was destroying her marriage and other relationships in her life. That is when she began researching ways to treat her depression and came across the idea of microdosing on LSD. Feeling at the end of her line, she decided to try this technique. Microdosing involves taking such small amounts of LSD so they do not produce any adverse effects. In her book, A Really Good Day, she chronicles her experience as she microdoses on LSD each day for one month. She felt LSD allowed her to better control her emotions and take time to really think about how she is feeling. Ayelet described the experience as extreme mindfulness and felt LSD helped her focus her mind. She did quit using the drug after a month, partly due because she didn't want to continue commit- ting a crime due to microdosing LSD. Purchasing the drug on the black market is dangerous because of the lack of control to what a person is actually receiving.
