Your mind's capability of self-reflection can lead to depression
[[Ketamine]] - one of the quickest acting for depression - causes disassociation by shutting off the default mode network
Looking at research papers, we discover that substances like [[psilocybin]] fracture our sense of self (which can be traumatic, dangerous, and cause PTSD) so that you are no longer stuck thinking about yourself. Then the issue of "overly self aware" goes away and people get better in terms of depression
