The primary objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of psilocybin in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Ten subjects with MDD and BPD will receive a single 25 mg oral dose of psilocybin. The hypothesis to be tested is that psilocybin will result significant reduction in symptoms of both MDD and BPD after 1 week and sustained for 4 weeks compared to baseline (improvement in symptoms will be indicated by lower scores on established outcome measures of MDD and BPD symptoms that have been used in prior studies).
